Back in the 90's I keyed Colonel Schneider Jr's horse for 1st in the trifecta. Horse finished 3rd but there were no tickets sold on the winning combo. At that time Ontario paid out on the top 3 finishers in any order. Scooped the whole pool for $3400 then claimed a horse the next week with the winnings & she made $9000 in her first 4 starts. Haven't cashed a ticket since!

It's been quite a while, but a long time ago I owned some Indiana Sires Stakes leg winners (two of them are now broodmares for me), and once won the aged Sires Stake with a gelding who just died at almost 30 years of age here on my farm.  His surprise win was probably my biggest race.
Those days are now long gone, as Indiana Sired horses have become so much better.
And we haven't figured out how to help our horses pick up three seconds, while all the horses I sell seem to do that almost immediately.

even though it was non betting and no purse was involved my first time winning and getting a blanket at Goshen  is my biggest win in my mind .. 😂

My biggest win was being in a pileup on the track and laying there face up not being able to breathe or move and watching hooves and wheels pass inches from my face. Just a few inches the other way and it would have been lights out.

Way back when, Some kind of stake race at Maywood Park, with DR WALKER. Didn't own much of him tho. Better yet First start back with an $8000 claimer, Mac's Grandstander, In for $10,000 , first time Tony Morgan with the Cheetah bike, BOOOOOM, $37.80 , won by 4  and looking for more at HAWTHORNE. Trainer, SCOTT NANCE. GOT IT ALL.

I had a 30-1 shot beat a Teague horse at the wire at 1-9.   A lot of disappointed faces on the locals.  ngc3
