NBC Sports analyst and MSNBC contributor Bob Neumeier quietly hit the jackpot in his Breeders' Cup predictions, correctly picking two of five long shots to earn $66 on a $10 bet.
Neumeier picked Miesque's Approval in the Mile and — in the marquee upset of the day — tabbed Invasor to win the Classic.
At a $2 bet for each of the five long shots Neumeier picked, that's a $10 bet for a $66 payout.
The first of three pools of the Kentucky Derby Future Wager begins its three-day run on Friday and the bet's opening scenario is very similar to each of its opening pools since the wager was created in 1999.
It's first time that Classic will be broadcast in primetime on Nov. 3.
