600K in the show pool in the 8th race, nearly all on the heavy favorite. This at a track that usually averages 15-20k in the betting pools.
They made their money back this time. It doesnt always work, which is why they're called bridge jumpers.

Probably cost the track 100K. I guess they figure that they get indirect benefits by keeping the 10% return that exceed these occasional losses - but it's hard to see how.
I remember the FG got nailed with one of these things badly one day, and probably within a week the racing commission changed the minimum payoff in La changed to 5%.
