Surprise, surprise, surprise...

Nice payout for the winner of the 2022 Kentucky Derby. The owners of the horse picked him up for $30,000.00 in a claiming race last fall. Today's first place prize for the Derby was $1,800,000.00.

A $2.00 bet paid:

WIN - $163.60
Place - $74.20
SHOW - $29.40

Exacta paid - $4,101.20 on a $1.00 bet.
Trifecta paid - $14,870.70 on a $1.00 bet.
Superfecta paid - $321,500.10 on a $1.00 bet.

As under the radar as it gets. Entered just 36 hours prior. Mint julep tasted mighty sweet for its supporters.

So a fun story from the Derby. My husband and I went for a "bucket list trip". We were at Churchill Downs for both Friday and Saturday. We lost every race...we followed favorites, family birthdates, names we liked and nothing. Finally on the actual Derby Race, my husband said, i'm going to bet $5 on each horse to win. Maybe a longshot will come in...his $100 bet turned in to $409 and we can say we bet on the winning horse!!! It was a fun way to end a memorable trip
