With the introduction of net pool pricing, it makes even more sense to try and beat the bridgejumpers, because even if the favorite does come in, and unfortunately they usually do, if a longshot comes in with him, you can still get a decent show price on the other horse, maybe in the $5-6 range, whereas back in the old days everybody would have paid $2.10. Saturday was a bad day to take a plunge, as both Tapizar and Comma to the Top had huge show wagers on them, totalling over $300,000, and of course both lost.
