Thanks Suff.
I was sitting in my office in Hot Springs.
Knew it was going to be a big move. Tina and I were speculating what the exacta was going to pay.
I was hoping for $200 to $250 which would have been $20 or $25k.
I knew the win bet was going to be $10,000.
Was extremely happy when I saw $458.00 on the exacta.
Was pretty sure that was going to get us home since the leader went into the final race with approx. $36k.
It wasn't a Hail Mary at all. The plan from the beginning was to get to the last with the biggest possible bankroll.
I knew on Thursday if Astronaut won the last I'd make the money.
It's VERY rare when your best bet is in the final race. But a great feeling and a huge edge when it is. Win, lose or draw.
I lost $10,700 in the 4 races before the last.
In retrospect that was real bad. Because we really could have put up an epic number.
Still very happy and grateful for a nice win.
Looking forward to improving my 7th place finish in last years BCBC.
IMO by far the BEST live bankroll tournament of the year!
