Biggest payout I ever got (nothing to write home about, but something meaningful at the time) was when I noticed some claimer in a stakes race where he didn’t belong. Way outclassed. It just seemed too odd and worth a small wager. Of course, later it seemed like it would have been worth a bigger one.
This was just one of those flukes. No sour grapes here, not really upset over my losses...just one of those things. I’ll tell everyone right now, I won’t bet this horse in the Preakness.
