Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the posted coordinates but is located within a reasonable distance from them. There is nothing of interest at the exact posted coordinates but there may be something to see circling around them.

Caution should be taken within a 10m radius of the cache's GZ. There is a fair bit of wire and rusty old junk that could cause trouble for some. Kids are welcome but it might be safer to have them stand back while an adult goes in to retrieve the cache. Please be careful and have fun!

A couple of Friday nights ago I was out for some pints and some live horse racing at the local track when I won a LARGE amount of money. I won't tell you how but I had a sure fire way of winning that night. Unfortunately security caught onto me pretty quick but not before I had "cached" in on 6 of the nights races.

They chased me out of the grandstands but I lost them as I entered a wooded section not far from the track. I managed to locate an old ammo box and stash my winnings in it. I was hoping to get back soon to grab the money but unfortunately the police were waiting for me when I got back to my truck and I am still sitting in jail while they look for the money.

I did manage however, to note the location of the ammo box with all of the money in it. Perhaps you can find it before they do...

If you can manage to calculate my payouts for the night, you will have the final coordinates for my stash!

I bet on 6 races and the total amount paid out on the first three races equals the latitude portion of the coordinates while the total amount paid out on the last three races equals the longitude portion of the coordinates. N45 and 075 are to be implied and a decimal place should be entered where you would normally place a comma.

My winning tickets were are follows...

 Latitude

Race 1
Won on a bet of $1500 placed on Answered Prayers at 3-2 odds

Race 2
Won on a bet of $522 placed on Raindrops on Roses at 11-1 odds

Race 3
Won on a bet of $1582 placed on Honest Broker at 4-1 odds


Longitude

Race 4
Won on a bet of $5550 placed on Feature Presentation at 4-5 odds

Race 5
Won on a bet of $3570 placed on Zodiac Princess at 9-2 odds

Race 6
Won on a bet of $2785 placed on Valley Whisper at 7-5 odds

If you can find my nights payout in that ammo box, I will split it 50/50 with you! Please hurry before we loose it all to the authorities.
