It was a much bigger payoff than Rock expected. He knew he had hit the place and show horses, but thought he bet only $2 on each. After he looked at his tickets he remembered he bet $75 on the place horse and $60 on the show horse. His total earnings were slightly less than $2,000.
An old acquaintance of Rock's named Sandy watched as Rock collected his winnings, and later reported the windfall to people in the press box. When Rock saw fellow reporter Todd and photographer Karen in an Oaklawn Park hallway, they acted delighted for him.
