What nonsense?

If he bet $100 on his own horse to win the Derby than good for him.

Trainers are obviously allowed to back their own horses.

The famous Kentucky Derby of 1882 won by Apollo over the Eastern champion Runnymede was a classic example of heavy Derby future book betting by the camps of both horses and it shows how long this goes back.

Apollo's trainer made a killing. So did a slew of bookmakers. Runnymede's defeat cost his owner (Dwyer) about seven fortunes.

I think its great that he made the bet, had some fun, and cashed in. Why do I need to hear about or see him getting paid?

Some sportsbooks will only allow $50 or $100 at those opening odds, then afterwards adjust the odds lower before accepting another bet on that particular horse.

actually, it's bets like these that should get lots of press. a simple future bet, and it paid big. not rocket science, and something plenty of people into gambling can figure out pretty quickly.

20 g's is a serious return for a 100 bet. Good for him.
