my 2nd biggest score around 2003 at Harrington

played a $5 exacta box 4/7 and $1 tri 47 w all w 47

i was coming in 1st/3rd on my exactas a lot there so i started hitting all in the middle .... every race was that same $22 investment for an 8 horse field

this was before 50 cent trifecta

both the 4 and 7 were co favored at 5/2

always playing gate leavers the 4 and 7 blasted the gate and lined up

a mid pack breaker scattered the field 

Valerie Warnick finished 2nd for me at 80/1 from the ones g   4-1-7

took the tri pool down for that $1... paid about $3700 as there was only  $5000 or so in the pool

i never play dreamer trifectas,supers  or pentas and don’t like horizontals

so these small hits are the best i have

Brandywine Raceway late 70's. Bet a $25.00 Exacta Mr. Hotshot with Kennedy Princess and then reversed it. Mr. Hot Shot finished second, Kennedy Princess 1st. I got back $2500.00 for the exacta.
The best part is is that i had to eat those tickets if they didn't finish that way because I was betting for someone else a $50 exacta and bought the wrong tickets so I kept the mistake tickets and won. Dumb luck.

Rosecroft raceway in the late 80s hit a trifecta with a horse name Oxford Kyle on top at 99 to 1. Had all ticket on top in a wide open race. Horse paid over 400 to win. Took down whole pool 18k for trifecta.

At a 1/2 mile bullring in Canada in the late 80's. Maiden Trotters, two favorites under 1-1, one 5 and the other 9 hole.

2 horse box, $4 - took down the entire pool with a 90-1 over a 40-1. Took at least 15 minutes to sort out the official result with a 3 horse photo for place and literally everyone except the winner went offstride at some point.

$2400 seemed like $1M to be back then.

 One time I was at Sportsman Park in Chicago and a old acquaintance I knew from the Balmoral of mine knew Alan Henager Sr and told me they had a big shot with Whap he's parked out 1st over and peters out, the following wk he wins and pays $100.80 needless to say we left out of there with a ton of Money only to come out to a flat tire!
 The following week I see my old acquaintance at the track and asked him if he had Whap his responce was hell no he had to work and missed the race, that's the kind of shit that will eat you alive.
 As Dave Feldman use to say the would of could of Horse racing!
 Another time, I use to bet Eagle Event every single week, one week my Brothers in a tuff man tournament again in the 90's and I went to hawthorne back in the good old Days on double header cards and my Girlfriends sez why do u keep betting this Horse because I said hes gonna win one of these days needless to say I was in Louisville Ky and went to the betting parlor to look and see if they were showing Hawthorne and nobody was needless to say he paid $82.00 to win talking about being a sick Puppy 4 awhile!

Had a few pick 5 pays in the neighborhood of 5 k.

More memorable scores were at the big m. One was on a Chris Siccuna horse that paid $212 to win. Had in exacta p4 and late double. Prices were sweet as a decent Longshot I used ran second. Was a field devoid of talent, and cs's horse had competive form. Odd play, right?

Of course another decent score (wp) was on my namesake  Hornby Duke who was a classy trotting gelding that I recollect won a few sire stakes north of the border and then ran in the Preferred level trots in the states. A huge trotter that had tons of heart and  class about him and a great late kick. One of his owners for awhile is on plop and I'm sure could tell more interesting stories regarding hornby - but I enjoyed just watching him.
