When I was a kid, my home track was Ascot Park in Northeastern Ohio. Gone since 1966. Eddie DeBartolo closed the place. I'll never forget that a year or two before the 1966 closing the biggest odds winner ever crossed the wire first at over 150-1. Tumble Dream Paid $314 something, as I recall. Pretty sure that win and win price can no longer be verified, but I would comment in a documentary about the memory. I was an 8 year getting the ignition for "a lifelong chase of the dream." My BS meter says we have a legit $200,000 winner posting here.

Worst: Playing a $525 Pick 4 ticket (.50, 1050 combinations) with investors that went 1 for 4. Had Super Saver after missing the first three legs despite going 5x6x5. Probably the low point of my gambling career.
Best: Telling a family friend that she should play a cold Unrivaled Belle-Rachel Alexandra exacta. She won like $30 and I thought she was going to kiss me.

Thanks to the well wishers - there was a group of us in a wedding party who pooled some money and had me do the dirty work and well, made for a heck of a party.
Only had it for $1...as if it really matters! A Derby to remember, for sure.

Best overall moment was spending 3 days at the Southpoint Casino Race Book in Las Vegas and had a great time.
Best individual moment was cashing the trifecta in Race 13 from Churchill on Derby Day. (redboard I realize) Worst moment was having Court Vision nosed out by General Quarters.
