I noticed a guy today used a 1/9 shot (it won) in a feeder for the big tournament today at HorseTourneys. Is it even worth using a horse with such low odds?

Tournaments are won by very small margins. A winning 1/9 gets the player back either $4.40 or $4.20.
Sometimes that makes a very big difference.
There are also times where tactics in trying to a hold a lead will cause a player to try to anticipate an opponents selection and match it.
Tournaments are a VERY different animal indeed.
