Washington Bridge bridge jumper, $100,000?
 
Yesterday I had a great day with DerbyCat at the Pleasanton meet. I'm not sure either of us cleaned up at the betting windows....I know I didn't....but we both regularly cashed tickets which made for an extra fun day.

DerbyCat noted the huge show payoffs in the stakes race.

Looks to me like someone had $100,000 to show as an unsuccessful bridge jumper bet on the perhaps aptly named Washington Bridge.

always find the bridge jumpers interesting. there was $209,000 bet in that race. as a comparison the race before had $88,000. as you said the unbelievable but true name of Washington Bridge was 3-5 in a 5 horse field and ran 4th. thus making the monster payouts on the other 3 and one bettor looking to take a dive!
