Wow, we all jumped for joy for them and they were tickled pink.
It happens about as often as the true probability suggests

I was at an OTB that day. I knew Andre Fabre was a world-class trainer and I had planned on betting every horse he entered. I would have bet Arcangue, but his name appeared on the third page of the program's past performances. I never turned the page! I only looked at the first 10 or 12 runners!
When he won with Bailey aboard all I could do was laugh. It was disappointing and funny at the same time.
