Reminds me of a race at Oaklawn 8-9 years ago. Sloppy track; I was alive to one horse in the last leg of the Pick3, on a $5 ticket. Was paying over $1200 for a $2 ticket, so I'm looking at >$3000.
My horse had the lead from the start. By the time they turned for home, he was up by at least 10 lengths, with no one making any move. Midstretch, nothing else even on the screen, the jockey stands up, twirls his whip, and cracks the horse a good one on the right flank. Horse immediately veers to the rail, jock jumps off just before he hits, and my $3000 disappears into a puddle!
God, jockeys are stupid people!
