Thank JT! At the top of the lane, I thought Gosger had it wrapped up. But the winner showed his class in the lane. I still wound up with a $20EX 2-9. (I played a $10 one the other way.) And I had a $5 Tri so it was a good day today. The only two horses I kept completely off any ticket was the 3&4. It was a great race!

Nicely done  . I failed miserably today at the windows but there is always tomorrow and I had some pretty amazing luck earlier this week.

the pick5 races 5-9 paid 437 thousand for half a buck....ive never seen a larger pk5 payoff in my life...has anyone seen a bigger one?

Maybe Lance will weigh in. I'm sure he's seen some pretty big ones.

Excellent pick, and great job covering yourself by reversing. 
Being a Mets fan I wonder the reason behind naming the horse Gosger. Jim Gosger was a 1969 Miracle Met, but a role player who barely played. Unless a person is a historian of baseball they would have never known the guy. I mean I did, but I said to myself this horse couldn’t possibly be named after Jim Gosger, but it was

RR70s, isn't that wild. I'm a Yankee fan, but remember Jim Gosger as a "utility" player. I was so surprised when I heard the story on the broadcast. LOL! I thought Gosgar was home in the lane but he got a little winded the last few jumps. Saez was working him hard. I know that the winner was by far the best in the field. But it was an exciting race!
