probably he was just making his action style bets that day - not any of his big bets
in 1990 he hit Laurel's "double triple" for $195,000 and a year later hit it for $134,000
of course, $195K - according to dollartimes.com - $195K in 1990 is roughly equal to about $402K today
$134K in 1991 is roughly equal to $261K today
as far as I know the "double triple" bet doesn't exist anymore - I could be wrong - I don't play those type of exotics - a quick google search of "double triple bet in horse racing" came up empty
the link is a pretty good short bio of the man

The Twin Trifecta only exists at a small amount of racetracks; you’re more likely to see a bet like this at a dog track where it is still popular. I’m surprised more tracks don’t implement the Twin Tri, but they would rather fleece their customers with these ripoff Jackpot bets.
