But no, they declared the other horse beat mine. My 4th place horse was 13-1. The other was about 6-1 or 7-1. It paid $31,000.
If I had it with my 13-1 shot, it may have paid a little more. To make matters worse, the photo looked like a dead heat. It took me just one race to get over it though. Just turn the page.

Ugh, LS, i feel your pain.
I could fill up pages of posts with similar beats, dq's and the like. If i had one tenth of the bad beat money i've lost over the years, i'd be sunning somewhere warm while sipping a pina colada that was handed to me by a pretty girl in a skimpy outfit.
