I just thought maybe some people liked to bet the races at OTB or live.
I myself have great stories but Im in the middle of watching cold case.
Here's a quick one...
Never forget it: 1991, Garden State Race Track (it's now closed)
The Horse D.E. Boyd
The Odds 80 to 1
(people that know me in the horseracing business call me "longshot lou")
He won!
A crappy one:
2006, the Oaks, PA OTB
Exacta won BUT...I actually picked (in my mind) the 3rd place (#5) but didnt bet the trifecta....I should of because I got all 3 in order but only won $44 (off a 1/2 minimum bet). If I bet full, it would of been over a couple of hundred .
Lesson: A;ways trust your gut!
For true older die hard horserace lovers.....do you know of Ron Ferraro? He was Jockey of the World in the 1960's and is also my cousin. He is now an official at Phila Park. His brother owned harness horses and he rode them. One of the good horses was mantequila that his brother Rich Ferraro owned. He taught me at age 14 how to bet the ponies and I had a blast when his horse ran at Belmont Park in the early 70's
Got any horse stories?
