I've seen similar events to what happened in this race before but after a long day of being beaten every way one can be beat. This one broke my spirit somewhat. I liked the value of #8 @ 18/1.

John McKee rode him nicely to finish a strong closing 3rd. The 3/1 winner paid $3.60 to show. The 6/1 2nd place finisher paid 4.40 to show. My 18/1 3rd place finisher paid $2.80 to show.

I considered the #8 to be a legitimate overly so backed it across the board with confidence. Apparently one or more clowns added some $3K to the show pool. Congratulations wise guys.

Oh by the way, you could have gotten the same return by betting less. But hey Gamblin Train nice run! Sheesh. Looks like the $148 4 bit trifecta may have also been trifled with.

Next Japan, where $3K doesn't affect a pool.
