Pompano Park's Super Hi-5 finale was hit on Valentine’s Day (Tuesday, February 14) by a Canadian bettor when the only winning ticket with the 4-5-10-3-1 combination returned $107,247.64, or $81,978 in U.S. funds.
College Major, an eight-year-old gelded son of Art Major, came from dead last at the stretch call to post a one-length win for Matt Romano at odds of 42-1 – his first win of the season for owner-trainer Jason Mac Dougall.
Surge Seelster, the 2-1 second choice, finished second for Corey Braden, while River Valley and Kevin Wallis teamed up to be third at odds of 8-1. The 3-2 favourite, Thumpem, finished fourth, while McGreat closed out the Super Hi-5 finale ticket with a fifth-place finish at 61-1.
Trot Insider has learned that the wagers were placed at Jimmy Z Sports Bar, a Champions off-track wagering location situated near the intersection of Dufferin and Eglinton in Toronto, Ont.
The unidentified bettor paid $64.80 for the ticket on the 20-cent based wager, which proved to be the highest payoff of the season at Pompano Park.
