SWARTZ CREEK, Mich. -- A woman who placed a 10-cent Superfecta bet in Michigan on a horse race being simulcast from Hollywood Park in Englewood, Calif. has won $21,584.
The woman, whose name wasn't released, placed two 10-cent Superfecta bets Friday at a raceway in Swartz Creek, near Detroit. The Superfecta requires gamblers to pick the four top-finishing horses in correct order.
The woman collected her winnings at the track Monday.
The winning appear to be from the sixth race at Hollywood on Friday, a six-furlong maiden claiming race.
According to race results on the Equibase Web site, the top two finishers, Olympian Medal and True Brandy, were both apparent longshots. Olympian Medal, the winner in 1 minute, 12.25 seconds, paid $59 to win, $24.40 to place and $17.20 to show; True Brandy paid $47 to place and $22 to show. The third and fourth finishers filling out the Superfecta were Joys Last One ($13.40 show) and Red Rapparee.
A correct $1 Superfecta bet would have paid $215,845.40.
Who saw this story? I would be so fucking pissed off. You have to live with the fact that if you just spent 9 dollars and 90 cents more you would have millions.
