As I read the results chart, there were a total of 5 winning tickets at $0.50 each, so somethere out there could be three other players who are happily, even though anonymously, pocketing $600,000 before taxes.

If you compare the pick 5 payouts with the other multi race sequences that included Race 10, the payout was unusually generous and way out of line with the parlay on those winners.
Sorry, but this stuff drives me crazy as a die hard amature but somewhat savvy handicapper. Does she know anything about this sport, does she know anything about handicapping races or picking horses, does she?!?!?! Like I'm reading and deciphering the PP's and this lady behind that's been at the track for the first time in her life hits a $450 trifecta and she doesn't even know what a trifecta is. Go freaking figure! Does is matter to us . . .not really but it just drives me freaking crazy. All I can say is good for her!!! I guess?

OK so wait take this one on . . . "It's not what you know but what you don't know". That's the secret? Can anyone here relate to this? Nahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!
