I guess justice is served. The 7 horse scratched. So the teller says he gets the 8 and the 8... ? since the 8 is the favorite anyway. Which does not make sense to me. I guess he gets two tickets if the 8 wins...The 5 horse wins, which is the next favorite behind the 8. I figured they would give him this horse since he payed for a horse that was not in the race.

Anyways; Now the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat is realized. The pick 3 paid 667 bucks on a 2 dollar bet and he had 50 bucks on it. OUCH.
