Default Worst BC favorite?

I don't want this to be a horse bashing thread, but I want to know who you guys think was the worst betting choice in a BC race. Mine would have to be Peace Rules in the 2003 Mile. That was one of the easier tosses I've ever had in a BC race, and he went off at 3-1 somehow.

And on the opposite end of the spectrum, how Ouija Board was able to go off at 7-5 in the 06 F&M Turf is still mind boggling to me.

I remember discussing at length with a friend (BT) that Ouija Board was actually stepping DOWN in class with the F&M Turf. She had been traveling the world winning G1 races in mixed company. That was a chalkeaters delight if ever there was one.
