50 Cent Horse Race Betting Pays Out $524,966, Fifth-Largest in U.S. History

IBexNews - A group of horse bettors hit it big on Saturday, thanks to some longshots winning at Gulfstream Park.

Track records show that one person hit the Race 1 superfecta — correctly guessing the first four horses to win — with 70-1 Freddy Soto in front.

Nine tickets hit the Pick 3 of horses with 70-1, 36-1 and 26-1 odds, who won the first three races. The 50 cent ticket paid $14,483.65.

But the big winner was a bettor who hit the winner in the first five races. That 50 cent bet paid out $524,966.50, the fifth-highest payout for a 50 cent wager in U.S. horse racing history, according to Ed DeRosa, director of marketing for Brisnet. It’s also the third-highest payout for a non-jackpot.

Last year, a bettor hit the Rainbow 6 at Gulfstream (first six races). The 20 cent ticket paid $2.2 million. The track record payout was when a bettor hit the Rainbow 6 in 2014. It paid $6.6 million.

"The COVID-19 pandemic is extraordinary and unprecedented in modern times in this nation. It presents a clear and present danger to free society for reasons that need no elaboration. COVID-19 presents a heightened risk for incarcerated defendants like Mr. Hernandez with respiratory ailments such as asthma."

The rapper showed no symptoms of coronavirus infection Thursday, according to his lawyer.

"At some point, I'm guessing, yes," he'll be tested, Lazzaro said. "When it becomes readily available."

Hernandez last year flipped on members of the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods, a gang founded by prisoners on Rikers Island, the notorious New York City jail.

His testimony helped convict gang leaders Anthony "Harv" Ellison and Aljermiah "Nuke" Mack in October of racketeering conspiracy connected to their alleged gang activity.

In September, Hernandez told a court that his role had been to "just keep making hits and be the financial support for the gang ... so they could buy guns and stuff like that."

Engelmayer wrote that he doesn't believe Hernandez will be a threat to neighbors: "For reasons including those set out at length at Mr. Hernandez's sentencing, the Court is, further, persuaded that Mr. Hernandez — having been prosecuted, pled guilty, and publicly cooperated against members of the gang, the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods, in concert with whom his violent acts were committed — no longer will present a meaningful danger to the community if at liberty."
