Subjective as it is three races from that list I would rate highest would be the 84 BCC,89 BCC,88 Distaff. One of my personal favorites not on the list was Great Communicator's Turf.

Thumbs up

Those are all outstanding, but the last two, Wild Again and Personal Ensign, give me goosebumps.

CIGAR's win in the Classic was my most favorite. For personal reasons - I put down on a $20 across the board bet - it was Arcangues in the 1993 BCC. WOW! The best payoff I ever experienced.

Personal reasons? Bailey was riding. That $60 bet got me $4K+ which was anything but stupid. But, I could afford to lose $60 - I've lost more playing chalk.

Case in point: The exacta with a virtually unbeatable favorite (who I think was part of an entry no less) returned $1015. If even 1/3rd of your silly $60 bet ($20) was directed at this exacta you would have returned over 10G turning a 133-1 shot into nearly a 200-1 shot. But you're right... it was smart bet.
Coulda, woulda, shoulda. I am certain that she looks back on this now with regret.

Go pi$$ up a rope. It must be a slow night for some of you that you have to argue with someone's opinion or experience. You think I'm redboarding (which is the same as calling someone a liar), fine - just freakin; fine - whatever makes you feel superior.

Cigar's my favorite and Arcangues made me a good bit of money - actually, it was only $3400 for a $60 bet. I'm real happy for the person who inferred that he had the exacta. I take people at their word. Maybe I hang around with a better class of people than some of you.

Congratulations! It's always nice to hear when a fellow horse player makes a good hit.

Blah, blah, blah, blah....... whatever. Have a nice career redboarding other people's bets. I regret nothing except crossing swords with a jerk like you.

Plus, don't redboard. It's unbecoming.
If you were not even born yet on the date of the Breeder's Cup that Arcangues won, November 6, 1993, that means you are under 18, therefore if you "Screw up bets all the time," that means you are violating the law by making wagers underage. I cannot believe this site would allow someone promoting their illegal activity, so please stop.
