Wouldn’t it have been great to have had the opportunity to bet on some of the greatest race horses in history? For anyone with good racing tips, a fortune could have been made for certain.

One horse, Eclipse, won 18 strait races and was retired because no one would race him and betting wouldn’t happen since no one would want to bet against him!

Anyone with good horse racing tips has a better chance of making money at the races but not everyone has the chance to get in on a winning streak like that one.

Even a good horse racing tipster wouldn’t take that bet on after a few races because there would be no one to bet against and raise the purse. While that kind of record is rare, there have been several other great horses over the years such as St. Simon who not only won races, but sired nine other champion racers!
