Bet #3 in current round.

$110 to show on Zenyatta in Apple Blossom. I'll be surprised if they have show betting, though.

Rachel finished 2nd and paid $2.10 to show. So the bankroll increases to $115.50.

On to Bet #4.

Bankroll is $115.50.

Another attempt at Bet #4: $115.50 on Rachel to show today at Monmouth.

Let's see if Monmouth will risk show betting in a 7-horse race. I don't remember seeing show betting cancelled in a 7-horse race before.

Humongous minus pool, with 95% of the 1.2 million show pool bet on Rachel.

Rachel won and paid $2.10. The bankroll grows to $121 through bet #4. (I'm pocketing the extra 27 cents).

PS--I wrote that I didn't remember "show betting being cancelled in a 7-horse race before", but in this very thread there was an example of show betting being cancelled in 7-horse field.
