Score wise....$50WP bet on the Yes It's True baby trying turf for the first time at Hollywood earlier this year was sweet. Returned me $1,050. I can picture that baby hauling up the rail coming for home and me SCREAMING in Scavs ear over the phone...LOL

Mine was when I had $200 to win on Oh Jazzy Day at 10/1 and he came to the top of the stretch with more than a 15 length lead, only to wilt like a flower in mid stretch and finish 4th.
I like losing more than winning. I can relate to it more.

I once was living in my car in the middle of winter and needed this horse "Alex Kovalev" to win to get me out of my horribly depressing situation. It was the back end of a double coming back 6 grand. Oracle was there.
He made a huge middle move only to get steadied at the top of the stretch losing any chance. I went back to my car and the parking lot of Applebees and laughed my ass off all night while swilling a 24 oz Heineken.

Oh man here is one Tim you can relate too. It's winter here in Ohio and I am too drunk to drive ANYPLACE, let alone walk to my delapaded (spell check) pos car. I walk to my car, it's the dead of winter and their is like 5 cars in the dark, cold parking lot of Beulah Park. I score enough change under my seat and in the trunk to place an exacta at Sunland Park which I hit. So, I go to this bar (of course I drove) and drank a couple then went to Scioto Downs for some simulcast. All told, I was down to $2 in Nickels and Dimes and hit for $10, drank it down to $5, then rode the wave all night to close to $50 and then the next afternoon down back to nothing.
My exacta at Sunland, remember it well, Key the 9 over 6 and 7. Big $10 score.  In the real world, as EVERYONE who is a regualr knows, is my prowess of nailing Silver train over Taste of Paradise and LITF in The Breeder's Cup Sprint. Quote:

My greatest moment...mid Sept 1973, Belmont Park. It was my first time to attend live races. The featured race on the card was the inaugural running of the Marlboro Cup. It was a field of champions. The only 3yo in the race just galloped with absolute ease around that field which included the best older handicap horses in North America, running 9fl on dirt in 1:45:2 which stands to this day as the track record at Belmont Park. Unfortunately, I was a horse racing neophyte at the time and did not fully appreciate the magnitude of the horse I saw perform that day.

1974... Hazel Park. Kathy's All Heart, Danny Scocca up. I was 16, working at the pool hall at Cass and 2nd in downtown Detroit. They sent me to bet $300 W/P on the horse. She paid $17.40. I walked out with $3500. They gave me $300. Felt like the kid in Goodfellas.
