Laughing Dan. Everytime I saw him running at the track and I was there, I bet money on him. Won me some $$$ everytime.

I'm still in denial about the Wolfer not hitting the board
at Belmont, Aptitude is cussing his name
he always hits the board
and bet every dime I had left in my pocked on derby day
he would...didn't pay too badly either for the show bet

Lately it's been Quiet Cash at Hastings - talk about a big fish in a small pond. Think the bettors up there are finally catching on though

Litf! i made oodles of money on him last year. Not only did i get to look at him in all of those races, I won money too which is really good. He never let me down.

Spooky Mulder....he is my favorite horse in training and has been for a few years...I've never seen a 'cheaper' type horse that LAYS HIS BODY DOWN every time he steps out on the track..he never loses a close decision seemingly because he's as game as god makes them...I absolutely adore this horse and I want to own him one day but he is SOOO game that he keeps on producing for every barn he goes to and he has been claimed like 5 or 6 times....

..Whenever he gets cheap enough, I WILL BUY THIS HORSE....he gives me chills to see his love for competing start-after-start and will to lay his body down 120% everytime and gut out a victory under any way possible....what a fierce competitor...they don't make many like him....the next trime you see him in take notice..you are seeing something more special than you realize...

I expect to win very little money on him this year. He is not money in the bank. Gilchrist always finds easy spots for him as well driving his odds to ridiculously low levels and not worth betting.

I've loved following Lost in the Fog, but I haven't made any money on him.

Cripes, thinking back, I don't think I have ever had a wager involving his races.

Cunningham, I love Spooky Mulder. I'd seen his name around before, but it's only been the last year or so that I've learned the details. He's an incredible workhorse - any idea what his plans are?

He is a small stakes horse and an allowance horse and even runs at a high claiming tag around $100K claimers now....he is fun to watch..I have him in my stable mail...he is with Pat Reynolds now and will probably run at BEL or MONMOUTH next...

Brass Hat as a 3yo was consistently under-estimated - I had for good odds him starting in the Rushaway. He's still winning me money.

Good choice with Spooky Mulder.. He's as honest as they come. Tries everytime.. I've always liked him too!

I might take a beating for this but that horse that never failed me was a standardbred who raced the NY area tracks in the late 90's named Cake Rattle and Roll--cheap races but he always showed up.

For me, it's Forego and it's not close.

Record... 57/34-9-7
Won 14 Grade 1s
Won 21 Graded stakes
8 Eclipse Awards
3 HOY Awards
Won the Woodward four straight years

The most amazing thing about Forego is the weight he carried and gave to his opponents. He won carrying 130+ lbs many, many times. The greatest single effort I've seen from a racehorse was his run in the 1976 Marlboro when, while carrying 137 lbs, he came wide in the stretch and ran down Honest Pleasure to win by a head. I drove 14 hors to see that race and I was not disappointed.

For me it was Cigar. My standard bet on him to win was $2000. I got on his bandwagon on the 2nd race of his winning streak. It lasted until I lost $2000 on the Pacific Classic. So 15 straights at $2000 a pop--well he made me tons of money.

STS--My father loved Forego. He is all he would talk about. He had countless photos of him.
