Well,I had hoped somebody had written about this,but it ain't gunna happen.This $3300 p4 that Stevens hit is way to low a payoff.In the last race,that 10 got pounded in the p4. They left the p3,double,and win pools alone(they paid what they normally would for an 18-1 horse in that 9th race.)The p4 got played so hard with that 10,that it paid as if the 10 horse was a 9-1 shot.)The pool was about 480k.For this combo,12-1,even,9-1,and 18-1 there would normally be about 60 tickets (each paying about $6500/1,)but in this case there was roughly double that many winning tickets(each paying $3300/1.)I think that somebody bet 15-20k in the p4 (singling the 10 horse .)As you can see,the favorite exploded from the gate,and was well ridden by a fantastic speed jockey(Garcia,)but this 10 horse ran him down(not a lucky win....a very well meant horse.)
