Huge longshot wins at Freehold

Freehold, NJ — Anyone who had faith in O U Sexy Guy was rewarded at Freehold Raceway on Friday (April 12), as the Paul Stafford trainee pulled off a shocking 149-1 upset.

Driver Jim Marshall III sent his mount first-over at the half-mile pole, then was forced three-wide at the three-quarter point. Despite the wide trip, O U Sexy Guy was in prime striking position turning for home, with leader Massive Talent right in his sights. In the final sixteenth, O U Sexy Guy powered past Massive Talent to win by a head and trigger the huge payoff.

Just $56 out of the $10,150 in the win pool was wagered on O U Sexy Guy. It was his first win of 2019 and just his second victory in the past 16 months. He paid $300.80 to win, $30 to place, and $12.80 to show.

O U Sexy Guy’s victory caused huge payoffs in other pools as well: the $1 exacta with the winner and Massive Talent returned $462.30, while the 50-cent trifecta paid $1,754.25.

Live racing resumes on Saturday at Freehold, with a first post time of 12:30 p.m. (EDT).
