where to begin all below won between 800 - 10000
flown spectronmetre kribenses seagram wither or witch saulslito bay penzance(bit bigger) war of attrition inglis drever - first win - very big,told people around me to sell their shoes and put money on it ,then buy shoes back after race. chief dan george tidal bay katchit binocular just too many - most enjoyable was inglis drever first win 6/1,stood infront of best mate stand shouting at everyone to buy my shoes(which i had in my hand),then heard and inglis drever is coming between them,didnt watch run in just celebrated in front of stand with my shoes in the air. the shoe think was - someone in our party asked me what do you fancy in this and i told them to put every single penny they had on them on it ,then said - in fact sell your shoes and put that on it - it will not loose. so the shout ,sell your shoes, was enshrined into folklore. |

An antepost yankee of Back in Front (Supreme), Moscow Flyer (Arkle), One Knight (RSA Chase at 33s) was a big winner. Pizzaro in the Sun Alliance Hurdle was the other one - telephone numbers if he had won. I thought Williamson gave him a bad ride but probably my pocket talking.
Biggest individual winners would probably be Cooldine in the RSA or Brave Incas Supreme win. |

Forpady was the biggest in fiscal terms,but at the time Flagship Uberalles ment the most,i was in so deep on him and the race was a gut wrencher to watch,never travelling and just ground it out up the hill,oh and Laddies were best priced that morning,i do hate them

Chance Coffey a/p Coral Cup at 33/1, think it was 1995. At least 20lb in hand and trainer PF O'Donnel was reported in the Racing Post as wheeling the contents of his bank account around to the bookies. Irish horses haven't been so well handicapped since. In the Racing Post the next day winning jockey GM O'Neill said "if you thought that was good wait until you see Imperial Call next year." Backed that at 40/1 for the Gold Cup. Halcyon days.

Most satisfying is the following:-
48 x 30p accs in four races on Friday 13th. Out of this came Zaynar 11-2 American Trilogy 22-1 Kauto Star 2-1 (and a banker) Oh Crick 9-1 £1,345.50. As per all gamblers I could easily have had Cappa Bleu in that too (but admit I would have put a couple more in and would have made it a 144 x 30p acc .....and I guess we all do these bets more in hope than anticipation). Had £40 at 11/2 and £30 at 6/1 - so a very good day. |

2 days in a row. 25 win singles and 25 win double on hardy eustace and spot the difference 7/2 and 4/1 then following day same bet on trabolgan 5/1 and moscow flyer 6/4 and few other single bets, took home 1000 both days, give or take 50 quid or so

2003 Backed Moscow Flyer (1st QM) Best Mate (2nd GC) Sept 2002 Ante Post to win £800 was a big win for me those days - the value in ante post backing wasn't too bad back then.

Oulart won me around £6k - it was actually 2005.
Met an Irish friend bfore racing who told me they had to stop the horse in his race at Clonmel around Xmas, Dessie was expecting around 11st for the race and he got in with 10st 1lb I think, from the moment the weights came out the Irish plunged in. |
|
By:
I said 2005 about Oulart, I remember it was my only winner that day on my first visit to Cheltenham. I backed Kicking King the next day.

was playin a draw come the last race in 2009 so decided to go out in a blaze of glory. Had £100 on oh crick at 8/1, boy did i cheer that one home.

Best Mate won me 60k when winning his 3rd Gold Cup also combined with Azerty. If Rooster had his usual kick to beat Hardy would have been another 100k in a treble antepost all placed nearly a year before the Festival.

£800 at 6/1 brave inca (antepost) placed in october/november i think. sp 7/4 f
think probably most satisfying ever win having bet so far out had him doubled him up with sir percy to win the 2000g at 33's to win about 30k ! which would've been a biggest win ever had it not been for the nutty but talented george washington ! ( had to back GW on the day having seen him in the paddock behaving so all was not lost) |

Nothing major, but think it might have been Spirit Leader at something like £40 win @ 10/1, in the 2003 County Hurdle. Just got up in the tightest of finishes.

Moon Racer last year! My friend and I try to pick one horse in January each year that we will back in doubles and trebles, and in small singles each week in the build-up, in the aim that we both have the same one horse that could win us a really decent amount. Last year is the first time it's ever come off!
