i recall a weight for age race years ago about 1980 i think and i took a trificta for a single dollar to finish in order the number to take wer 7-8-12
when they were about to jump i looked at the ticket and saw that i had taken 7-8-2 by mistake. the 2 was hyperno and he was 80/1
he chased the front runner all the way and got nosed into 3rd by triumphal march right on the line.
the trifecta paid $515 for the dollar.
another one i had was when i took a 1-2 1-2 3 trifecta costing $2 and the phone bet girl accidentally boxed it well you wouldnt know it but 3 got second (example number) and the trifecta paid $694
one should never complain
it also shows the logic of racing. i always say its a co-incidence if we back a winner because if it isnt why dont we do it more often.
