I watched the race. Amazing how quickly this horse came from the back. Nice payoff for the superfecta - $557,000.

I think so but I don't know the amount. I was watching the race and couldn't believe how "Mind That Bird" came out of nowhere at the very last. Thank you, Thunder_kiss_65!!

Was that awesome or what?!?! That horse just seemed to materialize from the dust and hit the afterburners. See ya, suckers!!! What would be the payoff from a $2.00 exacta pick, and idea? The guy holding that ticket would no longer need to worry about no recession -- EVER!!

It was awesome!! My husband just said a $2.00 bet 50:1 would be $100 but that doesn't sound right. Maybe someone else can answer..I don't know. Thank you Simply99!!!

Yeah, that's right. $100.00 on a straight bet, if you locked in at 50/1 odds. I meant to say a superfecta bet. If you bet to pick the win and show and get it right, that's exacta. A trifecta is betting on the first three to cross the line. If you could have correctly picked who came in first, second, third, and fourth in a Superfecta bet, a two dollar ticket is now worth in the 7 digit neighborhood.
