That is clueless thinking.
Forgetting about the fact that
every race costs "thousands of dollars to the majority of the naive bettors", the horse in question was a lightly-raced horse with early speed who was trying a different course for the first time after dueling head to head from the inside of a heavy favorite last out.
What is really baffling is your lack of understanding of parimutuel wagering where
"the loss of huge amounts of betting dollars with... unpredicted outcome" is a constant, on every race you see.
But in this particular arena, I guess it should come as little surprise that some readers cannot grasp the unique realities of parimutuel wagering.
