Campbellville, ON — Only a single Jackpot Hi-5 ticket had the correct top five finishers in a wild final race Tuesday night (Aug. 9) at Mohawk Racetrack.

A 20-cent Jackpot Hi-5 ticket purchased in British Columbia, costing $2,352, was the lone ticket to select the top five finishers in the final race to score a $222,721 return.

The winning ticket was constructed with seven horses placed in the top spot to win, followed by ‘All’ used in the remaining four spots.

Four-year-old pacer Shippen Out pulled off a 13-1 upset victory in the Jackpot Hi-5 race for driver Jonathan Drury and trainer Carmen Auciello.

The five longest shots on the board made up the top five finishers in the contest. Rafa, the 3-5 favorite, was beat just a quarter of a length for fifth in the field of nine.

Here are the top five finishers from Tuesday’s Jackpot Hi-5 race.

1st: #3 Shippen Out (13-1)
