When there is one very dominating heavy favorite, even the larger tracks will sometimes cancel show wagering. Here are a couple I picked out of the Show Parlay thread in Contests:

2010 Apple Blossom (Oaklawn), Zenyatta

2010 Vanity (Hollywood), Zenyatta. (and that was a 6-horse race!).

Sometimes, yes, but it is very rare.

Agreed, but a 5-horse race with a dominating fav is somewhat rare to start with.

Oaklawn also canceled show betting in Rachel Alexandra's 2009 Fantasy Stakes win. It didn't save them from a minus pool, however. They still had to cough up a pretty hefty minus pool payout ($190K) when Rachel accounted for 95.6% of the Place pool. That was when Oaklawn still had $2.20 min payouts, and possibly the reason they switched to $2.10 in 2010.
