I'm guessing it was a show bet in the $5,000 to $8,000 range.

My guesses. Either, juice gone wrong or a Keypunch error.

There was a 1/2 favorite in a five horse field in AQU's 3rd race ... but that horse was #5 .... in the Beu race ... the 5 horse went off at odds of 7/2 and paid $27.20 to show .... so that rules out keypunch error.

I was thinking more along the lines of 50 to show versus 5000. I don't even know if that's possible with the autotote machines. But I was thinking maybe a zero stuck somewhere. Even a mutual clerk freeroll type deal (with times being so tough), that blew up in his or hers face .
