No it was not.
On closing day of 1993 at Saratoga, a huge carryover had accumulated.
The pik-6 ran on races 3-8 back then.
Nobiz like Showbiz crossed the line first in the 7th race, a grass allowance at 8-5 odds.
Shortly after he crossed the line an inquiry sign lit up the tote board, and he was disqualified. Pat Day and Pete Vestal's horse was placed first at 20-1, and in the next race Strategic Maneuver won the Spinaway, and some very happy pick-6 players got back 115 grand rather than the small amount they would have gotten had Nobiz Like Showbiz not been disqualified.
