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.

Actually, the highest payoff was significantly higher than Wishing Ring.

The record would be the $2,922 payoff on Power to Geaux at Aksarben on Dec. 8, 1989.

Power to Geaux offically only went off at 47-to-1 in that race.

Power to Geaux was in a race at the Fair Grounds in Louisiana that was simulcast to Aksarben in Nebraska. The horse paid $96.60 at the Fair Grounds, but only one $2 ticket was bought at Arksarben, which had a separate pool, and one fan took all the money
