my favorite horse wasSUNGENT a horse trained by the late ray bradleyat rose hill.obviously cause of the punt i backed him at warick farm wednsday meeting last race ,raining like cats and dogs .i put $1000 to win 500 the place (when i was single and had money),pre post he was about $4.50 i backed him at 1pm when it was dry and sunny by the time of the last race it was pouring rain and wanted to cancil the bet but couldnt.gai waterhouse had just started training and she had a horse that was favourite shortening as much as sungent was blowing in the market.it was the days when there were no phones on track comunication was dificult.anyway i was so nervous i nearly pee myself well gai s horse went to the lead and looked the goods but in the straight down theout side the grey(sungent) won by 4 lengths ,what a feeling .followed the horse all his life.but popular horses .id say super impose wins in the big mile nrace were great
