It was many years ago. $11K on one race. I posted it before the race somewhere but I forgot where now.
I've hit a coupla $3-4K races here and there. Mostly with big longshot keys on trifectas and/or superfectas, but i don't wager like that anymore, nor have I ever bet really large amounts so I suspect I'll remain around there as a "big hit" qualifier if it happens again.
I've had several friends who hit the $90+K stuff in some of the TC races. They are mostly pedigree cappers (who value track performance too of course) though who have 20 years of good record keeping to inform them. If you're betting a horse to do something they've never done before, at a young age, I think the pedigree stuff is very useful.
