Veterans Day proved to be a memorable one for one lucky horseplayer that hit The Meadowlands' Jackpot Super High Five for $13,395.06.
The winning ticket was purchased at Prairie Meadows in Altoona, Iowa.
The wager featured a carryover of just under $10,000 coming into Friday night. The race five winning sequence featured 19-1 winner Harper Lee followed by 57-1 Lastladystanding, 17-1 St Lads Morgan, 2-1 Paydaze On The Way and 3-2 favourite First Best for fifth.
Nobody had hit the Jackpot Super High Five at The Meadowlands since the Fall Meet began.
The parade of longshots also triggered a massive trifecta payout. There was only one winning ticket, purchased for $1, which returned $21,424.80. The ticket was purchased on-track at The Meadowlands.
The last-race Jackpot High-5 did not have a single unique winner, resulting in a carryover of $25,295.61.
A quartet of TVG Finals with a combined $1.2 million in purses headline Saturday’s (November 12) 12-race card; post time is slated for 7:15 p.m. EST.
