Arlington $1.1 million - One Fan Hits Jackpot High Five Carryover

Photo:

Two longshots in the exacta finally did the trick in the Arlington Jackpot High Five wager, a $1 wager which had carried over for weeks.

 

The Jackpot High Five required fans to pick the correct order of finish of the first five finishers in the last race.  If that isn't enough, you have to be the only winner to win the carryover pool.

 

The winning horse, #11 Better Make Money, was a 42-1 outsider that got up in the final few strides over #12, Dixie Banner, who was 14-1.

 

Fans bet $206,962 today into the carryover, which was $939,885 going into Sunday's card.
