Medina Spirit’s Kentucky Derby win is officially vacated after a positive test for betamethasone. So what happens to the bets cashed in on the victory?
In a word, nothing.
The stewards' decision disqualifying Medina Spirit specifically says: "Pari-mutuel wagering is not affected by this ruling."
In other words, the payouts are done and over.
No. 8 Medina Spirit won the 147th Kentucky Derby at odds of 12-1, meaning a $10 win-bet returned $120. His subsequent disqualification doesn't change that.
These were the final payouts:
- 8 - Medina Spirit WIN: $26.20 PLACE: $12.00 SHOW: 7.60
- 7 - Mandaloun PLACE: 23.00 SHOW: $13.40
- 9 - Hot Rod Charlie: SHOW: $5.20
- $2 Exacta 8-7 $503.60
- $1 Trifecta 8-7-9 $1,696.90
- $10 Superfecta 8-7-9-14 $9,456.40
