Probably Spend A Buck, but I saw Affirmed/Alydar in person as 2yos at Saratoga.

Sunny's Halo, but I don't think I bet him. Probably couldn't. Not sure Oaklawn even had simulcasting back in those days, but they might have. First one I ever remember actually making a few dollars on was Strike the Gold and it was a very few dollars. I think he and Best Pal were the favorites. I had tickets on both of them and another horse. I think his name was Green Alligator.

Spectacular Bid was the first I can really remember sitting down and watching in my youth.
As an attendee, my first bet was Hansel. First win was Lil E Tee.

94 Derby there was this steel gray colt I saw on a SportsCenter highlight (was a huge baseball follower). Figured I should have a look at this Kentucky derby thing. Some other horse won (Go For Gin) and the gray colt didn't do much (Holy Bull).

Secretariat............was old enough to start betting at Ak-Sar-Ben 'legally' the next year. Best Derby pick was Gato Del Sol, Best Preakness pick was Gate Dancer (duh) and Best Belmont pick was Colonial Affair. Attended the 1990 Derby and loved Summer Squall. Still kicking myself for not boxing with Unbridled.
