There's nothing like it in the world: The excitement of watching the wheel horse in your double open up a four length-lead in the stretch assuring it will never be caught. A quick glance at the tote board shows the nag is 49-1. You're even more gratified that you made an additional across the board wager on the horse. The one thing that could make it better is if your second rated horse beats the favorite for place. That doesn't happen.
Who cares? Sassification in the fourth race at the Big A paid, a whopping, $100.50, $28.4, $14.8. The double, with the odds on favorite in the third, paid $183. Of course it was a monster move horse.
