Most people are familiar with Thoroughbred horse racing. This is because the three most popular American Thoroughbred horse races are televised every year and include the Kentucky Derby, the Preakness and the Belmont Stakes, otherwise known as the Thoroughbred Triple Crown.

Thoroughbred horse racing is something which most of us have some familiarity with, largely thanks to the three biggest Thoroughbred horse races being televised each year. These three are the Preakness, the Belmont Stakes and the Kentucky Derby, collectively known as the Thoroughbred Triple Crown.

I've been looking over my betting years, looking at those bets that could have come in, didn't come in, and those that really did come in. You certainly do remember those that come in - those that make a huge difference to the size of your wallet. Here are my favourite ever betting moments, in reverse order:

I have such fond memories of Arc Sundays. This year, I won't be going along but the first Sunday of October represents the end of summer and the start of winter for me, an ex-Parisian ex-pat who goes back to 98 and Sagamix. I remember Sakhee, Dalakhani, Bago, Hurricane Run and what on earth happened last year with Dylan Thomas? I still haven't understood that one - but some day the system has to break!

Thoroughbred horse racing is one of the most popular kinds of horse racing and is enjoyed by fans all over the world. One of the most exciting things about Thoroughbred horse racing is the opportunity for spectators and fans to place bets on the outcome and win money. Something not known by many is that there are a lot of different ways to bet on Thoroughbred horse races.

The Breeders' Cup Classic is the highlight of the two day Breeders' Cup event.

This Grade I stakes race is for Thoroughbreds three years old and older. The race is a 1 miles and is considered to be the premier Thoroughbred race of the year. The purse is a whopping $5 million.

Anyone who knows me knows that I don't back horses without form. Look at the Arc - every winner I ever picked was on form. This year's St. Leger is proof that perhaps I should stay away - but wait - there's one horse in there who looks the part.

A gambling pro won't let on, but I will - a gambling pro will never gamble. They play percentages, which requires study of both the horse's past - and the race's past. You won't catch a pro picking a horse because the name resembles that of his favourite cat!
