The winning superfecta in the Grade 2 A Gleam Handicap at Hollywood Park
on Saturday was incorrectly posted on the toteboard, and the wrong
numbers were paid out to bettors for approximately two minutes before
racing officials caught the mistake, according to track stewards.
Initially, the toteboard showed a winning combination of 5-4-8-7 for
Irish Gypsy, Ultra Blend, Tanda and Washington Bridge. But after a
review from stewards and placing judges, the mistake was caught. Mildly
Offensive was the actual fourth-place finisher. The correct winning
combination was 5-4-8-6.
Mildly Offensive finished a nose in front of Washington Bridge for fourth place.
"The minute we noticed it we called mutuels and had them stop and
recalculate and had them put up the correct number," said steward Kim
Sawyer.
