Xtra Heat is the last horse I remember being personally able to make the "guaranteed winning bet" on. The bridgejumpers would load so much on her to show in a 5 horse field that you could bet $100 on her and $2 on each of the others to show and walk away with a measly profit if she finished top 3 and a decent profit if she didn't. (Never got more than the measly profit - but it WAS guaranteed!!)
Don't know if she was the impetus for the rules being changed in Delaware and Maryland, but I know there was show betting in 5 horse fields in both states when she ran there in 2001, and there was only place betting in that size of a field in 2002.
