Who was your first?

[Gate Dancer]

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.

[Danzig]

Seattle slew.
A year later, alydar and then general assembly....

Bold Forbes. I thought his spring and Triple Crown series was truly underrated.

He will always have THE special place in my heart.

First Derby horse I remember betting on was Nobiz Like Showbiz. I was working weekends for Smarty's and remember timing my break that day so I could sneak into an empty conference room and watch it. Watched Barbaro's and Giacomo's at home but wasn't betting til 2007.

Charismatic.....was purely a hunch play. Since that day I have been anointed a horse racing expert by my friends and colleagues.
