Early favorite for worst gambling decision of the century?

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 .

Reminds me of the 50$ win ticket limit thing in Let It Ride...where he get all those win tickets.

I hope whoever made the bet slipped one of these past the teller instead of paying with real money....

The best I've seen was at GP about 2002 or 3 in a allowance race. About 400k put on a horse to show.....3 hundred plus on show payouts.
