8/5 and 3-1 is not going to produce a big payout, you were lucky to get most of your money back

You won $38. A track isn't going to pay out huge money on the two favorites, because, well, they're supposed to finish 1 and 2.

My buddy hit the trifecta and his $10 bet paid $867.

ETA: I edited my comment because I did some googles, and confirmed that you can in come cases not recoup your original wager (an example given is an exacta box with 6 or 7 horses...so I stand corrected. My mistake. Brain fart).
