Lucky Typo: Australian Bettor Accidentally Nets Over $600,000

By virtue of a typo, one lucky Australian bettor came away with winnings of $621,840 last Saturday. According to sportscasting.com, the bettor intended to place a $600 quinella box wager on five horses at Newcastle Racecourse. Instead, the bettor placed $6,000 on the same wager, hoping that two of his five selections would finish first and second in the race.

His five selections were relative longshots, at odds of: 151-1, 41-1, 35-1, 19-1, and 6.5-1. The 35-1 chance finished first, and the 41-1 chance was second, paying out odds of 103 to one.

The lucky bettor expected to make $62,000 on his successful wager, but was surprised to see his account rewarded with a final sum of $621,840.

If he had lost, the bettor would have lost an extra $5,400. Instead, the typo earned him over $550,000!

Gulfstream: Friday’s Rainbow 6 Jackpot Pool Guaranteed At $750,000

The 20-cent Rainbow 6 jackpot pool will be guaranteed at $750,000 Friday at Gulfstream Park.

The popular multi-race wager went unsolved for the 12th consecutive racing program Thursday, when multiple tickets with all six winners were each worth $9,547.24.

The carryover jackpot is only paid out when there is a single unique ticket sold with all six winners. On days when there is no unique ticket, 70 percent of that day's pool goes back to those bettors holding tickets with the most winners, while 30 percent is carried over to the jackpot pool.

Friday's Rainbow 6 sequence will span Race 4-9, including back-to-back optional claiming allowances in Races 7 and 8. Stakes winner Midnight Soiree, who finished third in the In the Breeze last time out, is rated as the 2-1 morning-line favorite in Race 7, a mile turf event for fillies and mares. R U Lucky, a winner two races back, will attempt to make amends for a third-place finish as the favorite last time out in Friday's co-feature, a mile race for 3-year-olds and up.

Race 8 will also be included in Friday's Stronach 5 sequence as Leg 2. Friday's Race 9, a five-furlong turf sprint that attracted a full field of $12,500 claimers, will be Leg 4 of the popular weekly wager. Laurel Park's Races 6, 7 and 8 will be included as Legs 1, 3 and 5, respectively.

The Stronach 5 is a $1 minimum base wager with a $100,000 guaranteed pool.

NOTE: Reluctant Bride, fourth in the Davona Dale (G2) and sixth in the Sweetest Chant (G3) here over the winter, returned from a five-month layoff to win Thursday's ninth race, a $54,000 allowance optional claimer at six furlongs. Owned by D P Racing LLC and by Patrick Biancone Racing LLC and trained by Biancone, Reluctant Bride covered the distance in 1:10.98 under jockey Luca Panici. Lenzi's Lucky Lady, a Florida Sire Stakes winner last summer, finished second in her first start since August. Panici had two winners Thursday as did Hector Berrios.
