Totally crazy. I just tracked down that payoff. It was "Bonita Sonador" in race 7 on the first day of the contest, Jan 1. An MSW. The winner went off at 58.90-1 in an 8-horse race, and the next highest odds were only 13.50-1. I can only imagine (not having them) what the PP's must look like.

How does someone pick a horse like that in a Winvivor contest?! The person is still alive in the contest two days later. I wonder what odds those next winning picks went off at!
