53-1 shot wins by 10 lengths!
I understand that 53-1 shots will win on occasion...but I have never seen one win with the authority that the #1 horse (Tor) won today's second race at Charles Town.
The horse opened a 15-length lead on the field...and cruised to victory by over 10 lengths.

Amazingly, the TVG site rated him 3rd best in this field due to the trainer's high win rate on dirt sprints, but I couldn't find any info on him (George Woodii).

Ran a 68 BRIS fig 4 starts back, 2nd highest of all horses L4 race figures, while winning at 28-1 for the same jockey.

Interesting, though you wonder if someone knew the horse could run why it wasn't bet.
I don't have a database to check this, but is there a higher average margin of victory by low-odds horses than longshots? Obviously you'd think there would be for favorites because some dominate their fields, but is there one for 5-1 winners over 20-1 winners?

$500 x 53 = $26,000...

You'd be amazing at the rats that take serious money and the winners that appear to take about 2 cents of action.

The time I went to CT the wife and I both spotted a good looking runner in the post parade. He was 44-1 so we both shrugged our shoulders and said what do we know. So of course we didn't bet him and he won by a solid 7 or 8 lengths. This is why I don't bet low end claimers.

Race 2 tonight a 63-1 shot angled out and loomed looking like he had a great shot to win turning for home, but just ran in place and finished 3rd beaten about 1 length for the win.

Lots of weird results occur in CT 6 1/2 and 7F races do to the track's configuration. Favorites breaking from the outside, with early speed, that are known to or have broken slowly before rushing up in the past are some of the best horses to bet against at CT.
