My happiest (and saddest) moments recently (I'm only 19, lol, so its all recently) came in the same damn race. Intercontinental won the F&M Turf paying on my WP bet, but goddamn Ouija Board got up for 2nd by a neck over Film Maker to **** up what would have been a very nice exacta. 15/1 over 5/2 paid $131.50 for $2. I dont even want to know what 15/1 over 9/1 would have payed for $10.
Best moments were just watching Ghostzapper cruise around the track in low gear, yet still well ahead of anyone else. Wish he hadnt gotten injured last year

There's one standout moment for me - when Tempera won the BC Juvenile Fillies a few years back. She had been a monster in her first couple of starts, then had a bit of a tough trip in her 3rd to Habibti in the Del Mar Debutante. All of a sudden, she was not the buzz horse and no one really talked about her. Coming up the Juv Fillies, I thought she was very much an overlay at 10-1 or something like that; I thought the odds were ridiculous because, at her best, she was brilliant..something the other fillies were not. I would have been ecstatic at her victory without having laid a bet, but I wagered $5.00 and won a few bucks. It was sweet vindication..... of course, one of my worst/unhappiest horse racing experiences was her death the next year. Devastating
