Default Early favorite for worst gambling decision of the century?

Who in the hell bridgejumps on a 4k claiming race at Beulah Park for horses who haven't won a single race in 6 months? And the race was run over a sloppy-sealed track.

http://www.drf.com/drfPDFChartRacesI...=20100224&RN=2

The 6/5 favorite Houston Heist was 6th and 7th at the same class level in her two prior starts ... running Beyers of 28 and -0

The 9/5 second choice Rainbow Flight was making a trainer change from high percentage Eric Reed to a trainer who is 4-for-108 1st start in new barn - and is 1-for-52 off of the 31-to-60 day layoff. Also got a negative rider swith to a jock who won just 26 of his 481 mounts in '09.

I'm guessing it was a show bet in the $5,000 to $8,000 range.

My guesses. Either, juice gone wrong or a Keypunch error.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!

The best part of it is that the horse who won the race and paid $87.80 to show today (Our Last Dance) finished 2nd in a race where the bridgejumped Houston Heist finished 6th in all of 12 days ago!
