She was in eight to ten horse fields as I recall. Probably not much risk, plus I am guessing that if they did their homework and made this choice, it was because they found that bridge jumping was not being done at their home track. I highly doubt they are risking tens of thousands of dollars, and possibly more, so that perhaps a few stray people can make a two dollar show bet. At least I would hope not.
