Highest win price for American thoroughbred in a race?




jim


Looking for the highest win price, date, and name of horse that paid the highest win price in America


Answer
$2,922 payoff goes to "Power to Geaux" at Aksarben on Dec. 8, 1989, is the record in thoroughbred racing, according to the American Racing Manual. Also, can be found here- http://www.thoroughbredtimes.com/national-news/2004/december/07/hoofprints-in-history.aspx


Here are the top 3 in the Kentucky Derby -


1. Donerail -Sent off at odds of 91.45-1, "Donerail" paid $184.90 to win in 1913 which is still the highest paying winner ever in the Kentucky Derby.
Each Kentucky Derby winner has their name on a sign on the back of the grandstand at Churchill Downs. To the left is Donerail's sign.

2. Mine That Bird- trailed most of the race before rallying down the inside in the stretch to win by 6 3/4 lengths at odds of 50.60-1, paying $103.20 to win in 2009. He went on to finish second in the Preakness to Rachel Alexandra and third in the Belmont behind Summer Bird and Dunkirk. He is a gelding and still in training for 2010.

3. In 2005, Giacomo closed late on the far outside to in at odds of 50.30-1 and paid $102.60 to win, second highest in Kentucky Derby history.

Answer
Better question...Is it true that Obama s winning. 47 to 46 in latest daily tracking poll? 43% are certain they will vote for Romney vs 41% certain for Obama...so dead heat. To add to that only 8% trust the media..all time low. Add all this together... food for thought.

Answer
My local news sadly does...

Why do people care so much about celebrity gossip?

Answer
I think celebrity gossip started out as a fun diversion for some people, years ago when gossip columns were buried in the back pages of newspapers and magazines. However, today, the media forces it upon us so often that many people have become brainwashed into believing its important. The media places the same importance on celebrity news as it does on actual news about world events, etc.

Edit: The person above me is a perfect example of why celebrity news is harmful to society. For many it becomes an obsession and the ultimate result is a dumbed-down, uninformed population. Now you know why people barely know how their own government works, but can name every love interest for their favorite celeb.
