I'm not sure - but I would have to think a huge %. Mid 90's probably.

It's normally a pretty good idea to make a show bet on the 2nd most likely horse to hit the board in a bridgejumper race ... but this was one of the truly rare races where it seemed utterly impossible for the 1 to be off the board and also close to impossible for his entrymate the 1A to be off the board.

They also had opposite running styles to boot - and you get the 10% instead of the 5%. I can't ever remember seeing a more favorable situation for a bridge jumper.
