Incredible but true

My brother and friend are in Saratoga for the horse races. They have been betting on the local action, but also simulcasts from tracks across the country. They put a$1 on the superfecta on the 3rd race at Louisiana Downs…and won! $8,000 schemolas. They got their picture taken when they cashed the ticket, but the OTB withheld two grand for taxes (they’re going to be getting 1099 forms.). So if you see two stumbling, drunken bums up in Saratoga today, they’ve got $6,000 in cash burning a hole in their pockets.

Incredible.
