  "account": "Kentucky Downs hosted its biggest day of turf racing, earning the nickname \"Cashville\" for its massive payouts. The U.S. Open of Turf Championships produced a pick 5 payout of $154,457.72, with no favorites prevailing in the five consecutive Stakes races. The pick 5 sequence included races for the Breeders' Cup, with total purse offerings of $9.75 million across all races. No horse won the final leg, coming in at 19 to 1, but the combination of winners resulted in a large payout. The pick 4 wager returned $17,378.11, while the pick 3 provided a prize of $2014.93. These payouts demonstrate the low-risk, high-yield appeal of playing the ponies at Kentucky Downs.",
  "summary": "Kentucky Downs again featured some massive payouts on their multi-race wagers. Turf Cup day saw a five race Stakes sequence produce four, five, and six figure payouts.",
