Even in a massive pool, this moves the needle quite a bit.

It moved it, what, 4 or 5%?

So, you figured $2K was light but $2100 was about right?

It still doesn't beat the $1.3 million Rocco won in 2001.

Why did I know those two posts would be deleted?

And mine was so damn clever. What a waste.

I felt compelled to put something more clever than "Man wins $1 million on Derby Exacta" in the title.

But yeah, I'd say $2,100 sounds about right.

Maybe it's because $6k is a lot of money to me, but whomever it was had some serious balls to put that kind of cash on POTN and MTB.

Loaded... He had to be drunk off his ass to bet 1000 on an exacta that included MTB... Probably was trying to punch out a 10 buck box and being so hammered he hit a couple more zeros and mistook the 8 for the 6 and the rest is history...
