1. I played a $12 pick 6 ticket on Belmont Stakes day and I was singled to Smarty Jones. I dont know how much it would have paid but was still my best handicapping day.
2. I played Hoove's pick 4 ticket at gulfstream with a $100 winner had the two favs going in last race both paid 9k.

Plain and simple, back on the ESPN boards for the 2004 BC contest we had. I went to Portland Meadows and played win bets and few tris on the races there.
For our contest, and for my win bets, I had the late pick-4, which included Wilko and Better Talk Now as my top choices. Sadly. I didn't play pick-X bets often then that day, except my mom and I took a stab at the pick-6. We had the late four on our pick-6 ticket after missing the first two, and no pick-4 to show for it, which would have paid in the neighborhood of $50K. And then once at Arlington, I was alive to one horse in the 10th on a late pick-4 that would have paid something in the ballpark of $9K, and it ran third. Ho-hum.

I was grooming Itsallgreektome when he was a 3yo making his grass debut in the Will Rogers on Ky Derby Day 1990. He was 30-1 ml and i was playing the huge carryover 1mill and singling him on a $488 tik with a buddy of mine. Needless to say he backed out on my tik and i ended up shortening my tik. After Greek won at 50-1 i was alive to the 4th leg but missed on a horse i removed. The last leg won and i got 5 out of 6 for like 3k x3... Nobody hit the 6 that day..I made out good with the conso's, but that day haunts me...

There are two Derby opportunities that stand out.
In 2001, my pal Phil, BBQ Bill and I each ponied $40 for a $1 Super Box in the Derby. My rankings on the top contenders were Point Given, Thunder Blitz, Monarchos, Congaree, Jamaican Rum and Invisible Ink. Left Ink off the play in favor of Jamaican Rum. Those were the top 6 finishers. Super paid $64,000. Derby 2005, older Derby Trail readers know my top 4 ranked contenders were Bellamy Rd., High Fly, Afleet Alex and Closing Argument with Giacomo as the #1 Longshot Candidate. Keyed both Bellamy and High Fly over the other four in tri's instead of the usual box. Tri paid, what?, $112,000? Had Giacomo across the board and Closing Argument PL-SH though, so it wasn't totally depressing, but it wasn't a record trifecta payout either... Biggest hits were Derby '95, BC '01 and the Four Star Dave the year Dr. Kashnikow won with Tubrok second.
