Back when I first got into racing, and I didn't know much, I saw a couple of horses jumping up 2-3 claiming levels off of a 1-2 finish very recently.
Not really understanding the nuances of how the claiming system worked, I decided what the hell, these two shouldn't be going off at such a large price, and I boxed them. Sure as shid, Quip Star and Cachuma came back 1-2 again and the exacta paid something like 350 bucks. Some other claimers I really did well with included Bulig Z., Chris's Lad and abergwaun lad. They were never huge prices, but I always seemed to hit them on the right days. Abergwaun Lad was probably the most claimed horse I can think of. My favorite horse to bet was Tight Spot. I waited for him to Turf, and I bet him every start on Turf he made, right up till his BC mile appearance, which I knew he couldn't win. Made a killing betting Glen Hill Farm Relaunch babies the first couple of crops he sired.

Hey man .... $20 - a bottle of Popov - and an erection is pretty much all it took for IC to recruit another chick into his West Covina Hoggie Harem.

Some of the largest horse racing bets (I used to bet far more on baseball) I made were on him. I made thousands on him. The only win bet I lost on him was that bogus DQ in the DMR race.

In the only town in the USA, no less, with more dead people (a city of cemeteries) than living. Though, you don't remember the details quite right.

Lighten up Francis, it was a joke. I knew he never paid much. That is all I was saying. Quote:

It's Tricky has been awful good to me this year.
I think she has a huge shot in the Distaff as well. I just wish I would have taken the 15:1 the Wynn was offering on her 2 weeks ago, when I was out there. The biggest long shot I have had a huge opinion on was last November, when I loved King Congie getting the turf @43:1

I suspected that I might get poked fun of by that Tight Spot bit anyways. As for the other tight spot I found myself in, it was pretty interesting finding myself homeless at 2 AM in a dead town hundreds of miles away from my home, with no car. I looked up my cousins later that morning, and dropped acid for the only time in my life. It ended up being a pretty cool weekend.

Not that I know of. The '09 Big Cap was Pro-Ride, right?
Lava Man has a Gr 1 win on each surface.

You and I had a little catfight about Said Enough on the old AOL boards in early 2000. Poor horse ended his days racing at Los Al.
