I noticed that someone bet $5k on a 5 yr old first time starter at Turfway

they opened the gates and the horse just stood there. they had to lead him out so they could move the gate.

the gate opened so they lost the bet.

I made a large bet ($20 to win) at Woodbine on a 7-1 shot that was the best on paper. The gates open, the horse goes to his knees, the jockey takes a header and that's all folks

other than that.. First Defence?
piling on but
no way - no how.
