Default The 2nd choice in the betting goes off at 86/1 odds

This is a new one for me...




The early favorite for the Hambletonian, Father Patrick, went off as the 1/9 favorite in the opener at the Meadows.

The second choice in the betting closed at 86/1 odds. Every other horse in the field went off at 99/1 odds.

The favorite won by what appeared to be about 25 lengths.

That's 97.3% of the win pool. I've rarely seen even a show pool with 97% of the money on the fav.

Was there place or show betting on this race?

Nope.

Place and show betting was cancelled.

I never thought I'd see the day where a trotter is bridge-jumped in the win pool.

You see one of them "break" in virtually every trot race...and some of them are horrendous "breaks"

Hell, it's not at all uncommon for one to break, before the race has even started.
