Bad beat in reverse. I bet a lumbering son of AP Indy at Hollywood Park 8 or 10 years ago, he was a horse with no early speed and a bit of a late kick, but was 0 for 6 lifetime or so. He turns for home, sixth of eight and closing, but way too far behind the leaders to make an impact. So the leader and his chaser are 10 lengths clear approaching the wire, and the leader breaks down and the chaser has to jump over him and the jockey falls off. My AP Indy colt lumbers up and "wins" at 20-1 or so. They had to put the lead horse down, sorry to say, I felt guilty a bit until they handed me all that money thru the betting window.
