A superfecta pays well regardless, but our lucky winner also got an assist from the elements this weekend. Wet track conditions threw a wild card into this year's Kentucky Derby, circumstances that typically help long-shots have more of a chance against horses with better odds of winning.

Indeed, a couple horses with verylong odds to win finished in second and third to make our mysterious gambler's bet that much more lucrative. Here's a look at the race's official results.

As you can see from the screenshot above, the superfecta paid out $75,974.50.

Not a bad return for your day at the track. Not bad at all.
