One 7-2 horse mixed in with four horses from 8-1 to 20-1. The 7-2 was third or fourth and the other prices juiced the payoff.

But Sunday at Hollywood, Bethani and I hit a $424 tri keying the 'obvious' horse on top with five underneath ($20). The $1 payout was $212, so we got 10-1 in a far less risky bet.
Largest dime super I've hit has been close to 500 for a 2.40(4horse box) I realized the long range implications....and started paying attention to Kasept/Hooves writeups and am a well adjusted trifcta bettor now,LOL
