Mine was on Red Rum in a race where me and my twin brother both had a bet and my brother did Rubstick which won the race. We were both about 10 i think and we are now 37. I got hooked and my bro never even though he had a winner his first bet.

Time Charter with Steve Cauthen up,
got 100/30 instead of 7/4 cos I didn't know anything about taking a price, got really worried cos the jockey on mine didn't seem to be moving at all compared to the other jocks, but years later found that to be a good thing ! |

Time Charter with Steve Cauthen up, I think that was in the coronation stakes at epsom,time charter absolutely friendless in the betting then preceded to destroy sun princess,happy days! |
|
By:
Yes, years later I found out that there was a rumour about Henry Candy's stable having the virus and the horse drifted from 6/4f out to 7/2 etc,
but Time Charter was apparently stabled away and the rest is history :) |
