The bookmakers claim they lost a bundle. Are they lying?
For reference 1000 X 4000 is 4 Million.
So if you think a few hundred dollar bet would be impossible to get down, you're probably wrong.
As for Hong Kong, they have some of the most formful racing in the world there, and favorites win at the normal rate, so at least for some, getting a winner is not impossible.
