Not sure if it was the absolute worst but I gagged when they cut to the top 5 Real Housewives horse-related clips. In the middle of a discussion with our actual horse guys, the dude they brought in who knew absolutely nothing about horses goes all fashionista red carpet voice on us. I swear 2 of those moments were just things that happened within a mile of horses. The top was a catty situation that happened at Del Mar. Horses were on the property. Totally counts.

That was horrendous.

Two quick stories about that. Dini pacing in the gold room and comes up to me and asked "Do you have a phone account, I want to put 2k on Super Saver"

So comedy

More comedy was Broke Bill's tall friend who I think is named Jay (the golfer guy), and his friend, put through 2k to win and place on Devil May Care JUST as they broke from the gate. Really hardcore

Best - Blind Luck getting up after Arson Squad and Doubles Partner both won. Ice Box getting up for 2nd.

Worst - Warrior's Reward coming up short and General f*ing Quarters.

Just a reminder... this doesn't have to be wagering-related. I mean it could be Blind Luck winning, some horse at some other track coming in last, some stupid Hank Goldberg comment, Johnny Weirs hat, anything.
