There is nothing chicken about it. Its very gutsy. You can lose a bundle of money. Scares the crap out of this guy personally, I would never take that risk on an animal as flighty as a thoroughbred. Its a desperation bet. Someone needs some cash fast.

Just reflecting, I didn't see the show pool, but it may not have taken an incredibly large wager to produce those show payouts.

All it took was for there to be little show action on the other horses. Perhaps.
