This is moronic.

Truth be told, I once got put up for five figures, yes over $10K, in a Pick-3 at Belmont when my horse finished second ( it was a Richie O'Connell horse on a Monday in, probably, 1993, two days after Colonial Affair won the Belmont ) by EIGHT lengths to a Cruget horse ( trained by Mubarrak ) named Blue something. Cruget was DQ'd because he irresponsibly plowed into some horse while blowing by( this was his trademark move ) into the stretch.

He was a TERRIBLE rider.
