Highest win payoff???

Highest win payoff???
I ran a horse from the past as a viewer and better only and he won, paying an incredible $590.00 for a $2.00 wager. I won a bundle on my win bets on him. What's the highest any of you fellow members have seen? I believe the distance was 2 miles at Ascot, as I recall.
The other horses were all community horses. I thought this horse would win,but couldn't believe I was getting 99-1 odds. He won easily.

You never know what you will get . That is why I love this game .
Hi Puddles, I's glad I saved this game in case it's a record and perhaps to share the entire video of the race.
The interesting thing is that the horse I'm talking about was a son of Man O' War. It wasn't War Admiral, however. Anyone want to venture a guess??? It was one of the great horses from the past. He was a smallish horse and raced both flat and jumps in America and England. Gosh, I love this game. One of the best things that ever happened to me. Anxiously waiting my anual subscription as a VIP.
no idea who the horse was....but that is one heck of a payout
My highest is $659.80. Twisted Me.
In time, if no one guesses, I'll let you know who this great son of Man O' War was.
Wow................Yes the game sure has surprises. I think your $659.80 win payoff for $2.00 will be hard to beat. I'll have to check out
" Twisted Me ". I don't recall seeing him run. Did you save the race?
Battleship, perhaps? I can't think of many sons of Man O' War other than War Admiral who made the game. Clyde Van Dusen isn't in the game, and this seems to be the only other one. I can see why the win payoff would be so high, but also why the distance of 2 miles would be about right. Assuming it's the Battleship I'm thinking of, he gained most reknown as a steeplechaser. Two miles is practically a sprint for those warriors!

Hi, Ken,
You guessed right. That's great and in my opinion threads such as this one could spur interests of fellow members to learn more about these great horses from the past.
I'm older than you, Ken but have had the same pedigree interests that you have, but except for my own personal interest, haven't written about it as you have. I think that's great too. Follow your dream.
I quickly read through your blog and found it very interesting. I'll read it again, more slowly and comment. You write very well and know what you're talking about. I think you'd do extremely well writing for the magazines that you mention. I used to subscribe to the Blood Horse. A great magazine. I now subscribe to the Thoroughbred Times magazine. Oh, I read a lot of articles from the Daily Racing Form too, plus what I read on the Internet.Now this board.
I looked at the pedigree of, Milwaukee Brew and because of my knowledge can comment on many of the names listed. At a glance, I'm able to see a lot. I'll comment on one now and will comment on others soon.
When I see the name, Khalad, I remember him as being the sire of, Swaps, one of the best race horses to race in my state, California. I'm sure you're aware of how Rex Elsworth and M.Tenny had to barrow money from a bank and went to Europe to purchase, Khalad. Good story.
Anyway, Swaps broke, or set new track records almost every outing. Bill Shoemaker was his jockey. More later. There's so much to say about Swaps and his team. Swaps could be traced to, Man O' War.
I saved the race but it doesn't run smoothly. It shows horses making a charge and almost take the lead and then I'm 10 lengths up. It gets confusing
Thanks, soundofrum, for your kind words! It takes an a lot of time to do pedigree research, even with so many things on the internet and elsewhere. I don't know how authors like Avalyn Hunter and the others do it so well, but like you said I'm just trying to follow my dream and hope it gets read! (I finally posted my second entry now, on Beverly D. stakes winner Mauralakana.) I get Thoroughbred Times, too, but I really miss the "old" Thoroughbred Record, which I'm sure you remember. Thanks again and take care.

Oh, btw, Ken, my name is, Doug. I'll have to add it in my profile. I'll read both of your posts and give you some feedback soon. But first, let me share a very quick story that you might find interesting.
When I was in high school (age 16), one of my classes had us doing a family tree (pedigree) Well, I was having trouble with this assignment and found out that others were too. In those days we didn't have the access to this information, like we do today.
Anyway, because of my interest in thoroughbred race horses and their pedigrees, and thanks to Turf and Sports Digest magazine, I made a five generation chart of Native Dancer ( I think he's in your first pedigree chart ) I included pictures of him, his mommy and daddy. Anyway I got an "A"... My first "A" The rest of the class didn't do too well. This was in 1955, or 1956. Needless to say, this was my big start with horse pedigrees. I could now look at any thoroughbred race horse chart and see soooo much. I never stop learning.
