On Derby Day, you can get $5-7k down without moving the needle. Get one home at 14-1 like he did twice and you're looking at $75-100k, which even if you get busted in the post race test they can't take back- and if you don't, you're $300k richer.

There is no logical way that horse should have been able to survive a speed duel going 44 3/5 while 5 wide and then draw off while holding off grade 1 closers like Calculator, Salutos Amigos, and Kobe's Back.
