I played reasonably well for two days for one purpose, to put myself in a position to win. I bet $8,000 in the last race and if Flat Out wins, you are talking about me today. My hats off to the winner for being willing to put it all on the line.
In a mythical money contest, everyone fires away. When it is real money and you are making really large bets, many people (even those who put up $10,000 to enter) will sit on some money rather than make the big bet and thus give themselves no shot to win.

There were maybe a few like me that went all in with what little was left and cashed for a modest sum in the classic. |
