Another horse racing question

03-20-20, 03:09 PM

I bet oak lawn race 3 horse 1 (power song) to show. It got graded a Win but I don’t see power song listed as finishing 1-3, however I see 1A finished 1st. I have no idea what an alternate is. Did I win or lose this and also what does the alternate mean for future knowledge to me?? Thanks guys for helping a rookie out!

The 1 and 1A had common ownership so they ran as a coupled entry giving you both horses for wagering purposes.

Thanks for responding. Guess I got lucky because I don’t even know anything about horse racing but I have to say I’m quite addicted already lol!
