The best for me was 2003 at Santa Anita, it was my first and only Breeders Cup. No one will ever know what it feels like to have a group of horses run their hearts out like those one's did on Breeders Cup day. It wasnt just the fact that we won 4 of the races , it was seeing all our hard work and effort pay off. It also was one of the few times that I actually bet on our horses and I ended up with about 600.00 just betting WPS. Ill never forget Clare and I almost getting kicked out of the test barn for yelling for Johar and Pleasantly Perfect. What a day!!!

Actually, there's a song by Joe Nichols called "Size Matters." Go listen to it when you get a chance.

My worse was Housebuster stumbling out of the gate. If he wins then I hit the pick 6. The best Breeders Cup for me was last year. I had the pick 3 and pick 4. I didn't have Intercontinental on my pick 6 ticket because she didnt get enough votes from our group to be on the ticket, however I did have $300 to win on her to win. She wired the field and I was happy for me but sad to be out of the pick 6 on the 1st leg.

By the way, back on topic:

Fave was 1999. Only one I have been too. I LOVED IT! Met Julie Krone and got her autograph. I only made a few $$$, but my mom hit big in the Classic and took us out to dinner afterwards. Bob Baffert was funny and shouted and waved to my hubby. Saw D. Wayne Lukas a couple of times and he waved to the rowdy bunch I was sitting with. It really was a great day.

I get that alot from people online I guess Im not enough of a horsey lover or fu fu fluffy girl. You have to realize I have been working at the race track riding horses for over 20 years , so I guess that makes me a little harsh , in some ways.
