I had the 50-1 shot. I only bet $30 WP because I figured it would be tough for him to be fit to run a mile first-time out. This horse had the fastest work of the day at the FT Feb sale. He worked an 1/8th of a mile in :10 1/5.

My buddy is playing poker at Hollywwod Park right now, which he only does around once a month. He called me and asked me if I liked anything today and I told him that the only horse I liked a little bit was this horse. He ended up betting $150 to win and $200 to place. He won over $11,000. He owes me big-time!

I've only made two best all day and I'm 2 for 2 with a 50-1 winner and a 6-1 winner. That's the good news. I made $3,000 today. The bad news is that I lost $3,000 last week. I can't hit one of these huge long-shots when I have $100 WP. IT's only when I bet $30 WP that they win.
