And hit it for himself.

Putting $50K into the pockets of horseplayers is a beautiful thing.

$5K.

He put in the same ticket for himself that he did for OTB ( they mandated a $5K ticket ) just as he did last year. It's more than he wanted to play but he didn't want to rue missing out.

As it was, the first five winners were As, so he couldn't have missed even for relatively small money.

If you're talking about Crist?? Capital OTB gave him a $5000 bankroll to play the pic-6. Don't know how many people qualified but, during the week there were 200+ people that qualified. You had to be present at Teletheater to win.

From Crist Blog:

I'm told there were 41 patrons at the Albany teletheatre who sliced up the (second) $55k ticket. To be in the pool, you had to wager over $2500 through Capitol OTB during September and October, and then show up today at the teletheatre and register.

OTB did not " give " Steve anything. They gave an opportunity to their good customers. Steve took advantage of it, and used his skills to make money for those customers.

if you can get him to say his name backwards, will it send him back to his parallel universe?
