San Antonio, Texas - It was a rainy “mudders day” at this year’s Kentucky Derby part of the reason an Austin, Texas woman who paid $18 for a pick-five combination bet. All five of her horses, many of them long shots who love a wet track, came in. She took home a whopping $1.2 million.
Compare that, says the Association of Mature American Citizens [AMAC], to the $1,432,000 the owner, trainer and jockey of Justify, the big winner of the coveted Run for the Roses, had to split up. The unidentified woman placed her wager at the Retama Park racetrack in San Antonio. A spokeswoman at the track noted that: "To bet that little amount of money and win $1.2 million is unheard of."
