I don't have anything too bone crushing like that P6 yesterday. I also try to forget about it. Probably too many $2k-$4k just misses to even begin counting.
I did have a mountain of cash on Destin last year in the Belmont, that blew.
I remember a Laurel Park race from around 2008, where I would have a trio of 30-1s in a trifecta but the third one lost a head bob. Probably missed out on $8k-12k there?
Was alive for the Rainbow Six on mandatory payout day and had several in the last leg, the highest in the $25k area, but he didn't do much. Favorite ended up paying like $1200.
Another beat that stands out from that era is I just missed on a Twinspires Handicapping contest that would have sent me a free trip to Vegas and entry into the NHC that year. Last race of the contest it looked like I was home free in the race at Delta Downs and I got run down and lost a photo.
