Hi Bhagwan,
THE BIG IF IN RACING, IF I did this, IF I did that.
Its just like IF my auntie had tadpole sacks she would be my uncle.
My biggest IF in my memory was many years ago, one of the big Brisbane carnival races, you know the ones 50 runners 6/1 the field and a heavy track. I had my selections down to 5 nags, waited for the race (I was at Rosehill) odds came up and from memory my shortest one was 15/1. I thought to myself what an idiot I was for picking these selections.
I had a token bet of $20 on each to win just for interest, all on tote as better than bookies.
Winner paid $36, so I was quite happy, then the results came up on the board, looked at my tote ticket, and of course I had all placegetters, TRI paid $9000+.
I just stood there thinking WHAT IF.
Cheers
