Does anyone know what was the highest win mutual ever?

Having a racing discussion at work today and someone asked, "What was the highest win payout ever?" Does anyone have an idea? My guess is somewhere in the $200 range, but that's a guess only. What say you?

I'm fairly certain I remember reading about a win mutuel over $600 at a Cali track (maybe Santa Anita) a LONG time ago.

Well I'll be... the timing was uncanny I guess. Thanks! That would have been one heck of a double, if they existed in 1912.
