How bad of a bettor am I?

Has anyone mentioned in the past few days how that trifecta paid pretty low?
I assumed plenty of people included Drosselmeyer on their tickets, but with a 12 horse field, The 8-5 favorite out of the money and a 13-1 shot on top, I thought that trifecta would have paid between 500 - $650.

Hell, the year Aflex Alex won, that trifecta paid around $650, and I believe that was with Andromedas Hero and....was it that Maiden, Nolan's Cat or something, in 3rd?

At first glance I thought the same, but 13-1 over 5-1 over 5-1 is not exactly outlandish. Not to mention Ice Box simply looked overbet in the win pool.

Yes the great nolan's cat run 3rd.
Him and AP Aroow cam out of the same maiden race and into the Belmont.
