Closest you have come to the big score...

I play long shots and I've messed up so many bets with them that I am numb. The pivotal moment was when I bet Vision and Verse over Lemon Drop Kid, Charismatic and Best of Luck. I was going to make another bet with LDK on top but got in an argument with some drunk that sat at my table. to this day I think about running him and his wore out wife over with my car until they are nothing but a stain.

The Super paid over $140k at Sportsman's Park because the great Pat Day finished off the board.

Had Sarava missed the trifecta

There was a race last year at Laurel
I looked at the 80-1 shot several times but just couldn't get him there. The numbers I bet were 3-5-9. they came in behins the 8 and the Super paid over $200k. I don't claim to have missed the Super. Never considered betting it but that's all I remember as far as payouts go.

Oh, bet the Exacta with 3 other horses keying Not Phone in California...
they all came in and it paid over $20k for $1 Superfecta.

I did really well in the Breeder's Cup last year. Just couldn't get the big payoff. hit the tri int he Juv Colts. Shoulda bet the Super it was so easy. Yet early int he day. then hit Rond Pond but only hot exacta :-(
only hit win bet on Thor's Echo left out the place horse..

anyway like anyone is still reading this rambling mess

My biggest actual payout was a Superfecta at Mountaineer. keyed the first 3 places and then hit all. Didn't have the ongshot in the all spot but actually picked him to run third. Paid $4k for the $2 Super. I usually only bet $1 exotics but I chose $2 for the exacta and forgot to switch back to $1. Cashed $4,800 on one race.
