1983 Kentucky Derby-- at my grandparents' house. My grandfather turns on the race and announces that everyone is to pick a horse and the one who picks the winner gets a scratch-off lottery ticket. My grandfather picked Caveat. I looked at all the names (my betting strategy until oh, about two years ago) and was torn between Sunny's Halo and Desert Wine. I finally settled on Sunny's Halo, but hoped Desert Wine would finish second. I like to think of it as my first exacta (and I didn't even have to box it).
I remember Sunny's Halo went off at 5/2, and the lottery ticket I won paid $5.00.
