Default Ever happened before ?

Has a Phipps/McGaughey horse ever paid $49 in a Grade 1 race, or any race, for that matter ?

I searched and couldn't find one even really that close.

I have my thoughts on the reasons. They're good thoughts. Among them are they don't run horses over their heads and try to put a round peg into a square hole. Patience and good judgement of the horses they have also. Another is the Phipps family has never been in the stallion business. All good things to make what they did Saturday happen.

Let me know if there was a bigger one.

I forgot that one, and I was there. Apparently I didn't have a ticket on it and my mind just blocked it out.

all those who kept the faith in Mr. Speaker got rewarded, I unfortunately could not get paid because I did not have Zivo in my multiple race wagers. Such is life

Know the feeling. Not only did I have Mr.Speaker but also singled Minorette in my multis and Zivo blew everything up. Needed Moreno to hang on and I would have been very happy to share with Uncle Sam

I'll raise.

Singled Zivo on my .50 cent ticket....Had Mr Speaker (5 deep), had Minorette (4 deep), went three deep in finale and didn't include the winning 2 horse. Backup plays were out in first leg when Mr Speaker popped. Still sick over it.
