Forget the Hambo-There was a Robbery at the Big M

$2 Exacta (Pool $144,285) (6-5) $1,054.00
$1 Trifecta (Pool $126,877) (6-5-2) $2,886.90
$1 Pick 3 (Pool $22,848) (7-2-6) $1,070.70
There was a 1/5 entry that ran off the board. The 2nd and 3rd choices both at 6/1 ran off the board. The winner was 72/1, the place horse was 24/1, the show horse was 16/1(fourth choice). There were 9 betting interests.
If you take off 20% for the trifecta takeout(Big M has lower takeouts than most tracks) that would leave about $100K to pay out from the $126,877 pool. So we would have about 34-36 winning tickets give or take based on the takeout.
There is no F___KING way that 34 people had that trifecta.
By the way the race was a $400K Stake race for 3yr old filly pacers.
Since today was closing day we will see if this races betting action gets buried. I say you dont hear a peep.
