He really deserves the nickname "the gutsy gelding!" What a runner.

The horse he beat Morine's Victory is no slouch. I was at an OTB for the race and all the hard core fans LOVE this old horse. It was a contest and for some of them it cost plenty but everyone cheers for Spooky. It's great.
BTW, he trotted into the winner's circle like he wanted to go around again.

We all should put together our winnings, claim this horse and retired him a winner before something happens to him.
I scored the exacta & triple with him today, it's my donation to the cause.

I singled him in the pick 4 with no backup in the race (missed the last leg, too bad), so midstretch I thought it was over and was ready to trash my tickets, but never give up on this guy. Some determination and guts. I couldn't stop talking about it all day... What a great racehorse!
