Your Best moment in Horse Racing?
I can name a few but I want to hear other's response. Mine is Pat Day finally winning a Derby with Lil E Tee in 1992. It's what got me into the game because of his Arkansas and Oaklawn connection. My other is me and my buddy picking a 45-1 shot to win one time. We had this thing bet every which way and scored big when were younger. Nothing like that Opening Day beer at Oaklawn for me nothing compares to it.

well, hey packerbacker...i live in arkansas now, so oaklawn is now my hometrack. grew up in maryland, horse heaven back then!
my first big moment was watching the filly, genuine risk, beat the boys in the kentucky derby. i enjoyed racing before than, anything to do with horses really...but that hooked me.

My three biggest scores
1) Pleasant Home last year in the BC Distaff 2) Powerscourt in the Arlington Million last year 3) Last Pick Four at Hollywood in 2005 that paid $3500 on the $12 I put into it

Watching Captain Condo storm down the lane at Longacres, sitting on my dads shoulders, and hearing Gary Henson call "And here comes the big grey, its Captain Condo."

Mr Moto talks me out of another one
my favorite moments involved impossible long shots 80-1 and up
Sarava was an ok moment my most memorable moment was in the '99 Belmont. I did nothing but talk about Lemon Drop Kid. My uncle hated the horse I made one bet Vision and Verse over Lemon Drop Kid, Charismatic and Best of Luck. I was going to make another bet but some drunks tried taking over my table when my uncle wandered off. Got in a fight.. Mad I just sat there and said, "I never when these silly bets anyway" As they dueled down the stretch I knew I was beat. I still hoped otherwise but I could tell LDK was just waiting. Vision and Verse maybe won one more race after that. My uncle loved Lemon Drop Kid from that moment on and lovd to bet him at 6/5 Chalk bettors is there anything they don't know
