On a regular day, yes.

My guess is it was an out of towner pressing his/her luck. Check out the pools.

It looks like they're doing <$80K every race, then all the sudden in race 5, the WPS pool jumps to $199K with 1-2 favorite Gadget Queen running 2nd and paying $2.10.

It sure looks like another huge bet was put on in the next race as the pool goes up again, this time over $201K, when 1-5 favorite Knight Raider runs out of the money, creating those payoffs.

Dejected bridgejumper shuts off the computer, pools fail to pass $83K the rest of the night, and 3-5 favorite Wasserman wins race 9 while paying $2.10 to show to a WPS pool of a measly $49K.

Those two races specifically, back-to-back, took all the action for the entire night.

Reminds me of when Buster's Daydream missed the board in the Ellis Juvi stakes. The winner paid about $135 to show. The others paid $195 and $230.

About 340k of the the 350k show pool was on BD. Oh yeah, the winner ... Request for Parole.
