Briar Hanover, another longshot placed in the third heat of the 2:14 trot so unexpectedly that there was not a single place ticket sold on him, so the fortunate person that thought he might show and bought a ticket to that effect reaped a harvest, as Briar paid even $90, not a bad day's work.

That is certainly not the way the pari-mutuel pay-off regulations work today.
Anybody have any idea when these rules changed, or if this may have been a N.H.-rule-only?
