Default Huge show payoffs in yesterday's Bay Meadows 2nd

Looks like someone loaded up on Tough Game to show in yesterday's 2nd race at Bay Meadows. He was the 4/5 favorite, and ran out of the $$ in a five horse field......with one of the five horses deciding to stay in the gate.

The winner went off at 6-1 and paid $17.80 to show.

The 2nd place finisher went off at 3-1 and paid $17.80 to show.

The 3rd place finisher paid $22.00 to show.

I feel sorry for whoever it was.

He/she had to be feeling pretty good when the 5th horse stayed in the gate, and only four raced.

Tough loss in a tough game!

Hope there was some water below that bridge. Tough way to make 5 % interest. Although it would have been paid out in 1 day.

I know that if I had been playing that race, I would have completely missed what was happening in the show pool, made a W/P wager on the horse that finished 3rd, and only after the race noticed that the show wager on him paid $22.

They got exactly what they deserved. That is not what playing the horses is about.

laundrying drug money ?

There was someone that put $5k on a 5yr old 1st time starter. Te gate opened and he just stood there and looked at it. The poor thing had to be led out of the gate.

I think because it was Bay Meadows the show prices weren't all hat huge. I've seen over $60 to show. I just remember it was a DWL horse that ran out. I saw 4 horses and didn't waste my time looking at it.

I think the guy that pointed out the show pools actually did bet the winner to place and lost $20
