Pimlico\'s 5th race on Thursday

10 horse field

Winner pays $32.60 (6th betting choice)

2nd horse pays $36.00 to place (9th betting choice)

1:2 shot runs 3rd

Exacta pays $246.00

And we have the highest rate of heroin addiction and syphilis in the country.

What are you trying to say, that there are upsets in horseracing?  What a shock!

Come on alm. The point is the payoffs are ridiculously low, and someone banged that very improbable exacta pretty good. Given the odds, that should be an $800-1,000 exacta at least.

i did some back of envelope cipherin and the exacta should have paid about $1700 and the tri $2900.  i assumed 20% takeout on both, so my tri payoff is probably a little high.

there was about $700 on that exacta combo out of a pool of 112k.
