Worst Beat Ever still stings

He said he hit the p-4, it didn't matter how many he had in the last as it turned out. Technically you're right that he cashed but the payout difference between a 3/5 and a 24/1 is huge even in a 5 horse field.

In the last at Los Al yesterday someone scooped the p6 for 50k. In the 4 horse field the 6-1 2nd choice beat the 1/5 favorite by a head. Had the result been reversed do you think the guy who had both horses would'nt have pondered what could have been?

The only difference between the payout leg and the other legs is that you know exactly what each horse pays.
