The losers seem to stand out more...Lost Mountain,Badgerland,a horse with flower in its name(not flower alley) send flowers or somthing like that, 3 or 4 years back there was a horse with "super" in the name that raced mostly at Calder,Screen King, the list seems endless.

There was a horse named No More Flowers who ran in the Alysheba derby in 1987, maybe that's him?

THAT'S THE ONE !
Funny how I remembered some of the bad picks (or at least part of their name) and forgot that I had Sea Hero until I saw others who had him.

The two horses I was absolutely sure couldn't lose were Point Given in 2001 and I Want Revenge last year. So.....one off the board the finish and one scratch.

My biggest longshot pick to come in was Funny Cide in '03.

My worst pick had to be Friends Lake the following year. I remember being very hopeful with both my WP bet on him that year, and also my exacta box with him and Borrego. I guess I was off by a bit with that one.
