Don't know if this is apropos or not, but in the 2012 KD I hit the SFA for $1. It paid $48K+. IHA was I think 19-1, Bode ( fave ) 3-1?) Dullahan (single digit, I think) and Went the Day Well I think was something like 25-1. While waiting for the photo, my friends were telling me it would probably pay somewhere around 30K-40K for $2. When it came back at 96+K for $2, I was happily surprised of course. I'm not sure I've remembered the odds correctly, but that certainly makes up for a lot of ones that comeback lighter than expected. By the way, after betting Win and Exacta's on the race, I had $12 left on my voucher, and played IFA and Bode over the other 2, for a 2/4/4/4 ticket. I learned a lesson that day:when you have a strong opinion, don't be timid.
