Luckily he got up in the last few strides and paid 10 or 11 bucks and all was right in Grantville that night. I had been to Penn several times before, but I don't think I've ever been back.

He closed to win the Cal Cup Sprint at Santa Anita on November 7, 1992 and paid $11 even, but that's not over Thanksgiving. He won the Hollywood Turf Sprint twice right around Thanksgiving 1991 and 1992, but that was as Hollywood Park and he didn't pay close to $10.
