Sure he won more then he lost but at very short odds

I think Easy Goer was just a slight fav over Sunday Silence in the Preakness and the BC Classic. Not sure about the Derby. And wasn't he 2nd choice in the Belmont, which he did win?

Man I loved Perfect Drift. We always talked about the simple All/ Drift/ All trifecta and how regularly it paid. It is a shame that his owner didn't take him away from Murray until Drift was past his prime.

Aguila,was the horse around the same time that a co worker of mine played and lost everytime he started. A closer at Santa Anita that never got there.

There was a horse in California a few years back named King Palm who was second in a bunch of maiden races before he finally won, nearly always as a favorite. He wasn't a bad horse - his lifetime record is 26/2-12-2 and $185,420 in earnings - but he was a beaten favorite way too often.
