What is

The most races you've hit in a row in one day? If you had to bet to just cash (show bets, locks etc.) how many do you think you could hit in one day? Thinking of running a contest.

What's your record? What do you think you could do?

I remember hitting five once many, many years ago. One heck of a day.

Your thoughts?

Have never bet 5 races in a row.
You mean 5 consecutive races one picks to wager on?

I'll tell ya, even 5 races in a row playing show bets is very tough. My best selection day ever was at Spa. It was Richter Scale's last race in the feature that did me in. I think I hit 4 exactas, 2 tris and a win before the featured 9th race. The one race I passed on (my chosen ex came in, chalk, that race too) because all my wins were chalk and I was winning peanuts. So on to the Forego and my tri bet finished 3 out of 4 but Richter Scale floundered so I lost on that race and I lost money on the day...geesh...I think that was when Shadow Caster won @ 50-1, Chavez up, the 3rd year in a row the longest shot on the board won the Forego.

Four in a row with win bets. I have had afew pic 3 winners with singles in each race, but I still work for a living.

I hit 8 of 9 races at Arlington a few years ago.... and yes, with a little superstition, kept going back to the same teller (after the 3rd race, she's like... 'back again'.... I said that as long as she gave me winners, I'll be back). Didn't get to go back after the 9th, but was very happily ahead for the day. Nothing too huge, but that many in a row add up.

I hit 2 daily doubles, 5 exactas and also ATB bets that won or placed.
