As I recall it was when Richard Mandella won 3 or 4 races that day including the Classic with Pleasantly Perfect. So I guess as improbable as it seems that someone could handicap it, it's not impossible. However, all that may just be a false memory on my part.

As I remember the story, this was from the 93 breeders cup at Santa Anita, the other time that Mandella had four wins. One of the two tickets that hit the national pick-7 had played numbers 1 and 11 in the penultimate race, the BC turf. He then accidentally punched 1 and 11 for the classic, but decided to just keep the ticket as played for a $16 total. Arcangues was #11 in the classic so he wound up winning $1.6 million by accident.
