I agree... especially in this scenario. You're risking $100k to win $600k and let's face it, the BC Turf Sprint is a huge crapshoot and it's hard to say ANY horse in the field is worthy of a wager at 5-1. If you're going to be 1/5 in a (generally) formful race like the Turf... maybe it's worth a shot. But the Turf Sprint? Forget it.
Didn't he win a WAYI race anyways where they're supposed to pay the supplement for him or something?
