How about that Kentucky derby in the 50's (i think) where the jock stood up at the 1/16 or 1/8th pole and cost the horse the derby... names are excaping me considering i was born in 1983, so I wasnt exactly at the race... but I am sure BTW or Byk knows the horse/jockey.

That may have been a more costly ride...
