It is a person who bets tons of money on a fav to show. Say you have Bernardini running in a race that only has 4 horses. Then the bridgejumpers will bet 10's of thousand of dollars to show on Bernardini. They get back 10 cents for every $2 they bet. Sometimes they get caught making a bad bet. The most famous is Congaree finshing 4th in the San Diego Hanidcapp and then there was one just last week at Mountaineer.
