I've not been in a bookies for years
not since I put a quid on a placepot (where you pick 6 horses, and if they all come 1st-3rd you win a bit, but if they all win, you win the jackpot) where the jackpot was about £250,000.
The first 5 horses all won, but the last horse came 4th by half a head (about 9 inches).... so I won nothing :~(

Am I being slow here,
Or is it impossible for 6 horses to come 1st, 2nd and 3rd?

I would imagine...
...It was 6 different races ;-)


But I had the same though initially
