Minutes after the results were made official Costy announces the exacta payoffs...9-all pays $72...all-6 pays $17.
It was the most memorable occurance I've ever seen at a racetrack. People were crawling on the floor and dumping trash cans looking for live tickets. I found a few myself in addition to the six I held.
I still ponder what could've been and regret budgeting my bankroll to have enough cash to buy a steak and cheese when I got home.

I guess you've never been to Freehold...................

Yeah, I was kicking myself a bit last night, because the horses was very playable. But as usual I tried to get too cute and save an extra few bucks.
