Belles was a 20 to 1 odds entry. What does that mean?

That means if the owner of the horse placed a $10,000 wager on Belles and she won, he was due to receive $200,000 in winnings and a cool $190,000 take home profit in cash !

In what other sport can that be the case? None.

Belles finished 2nd due to the 'run' in her and she paid 16 to 1 even though she is now DEAD ! (click here)

Her ticket holders are still winners with a second place victory and I guarantee you, her owners are still taking home money without her in the trailer, and that doesn't include the 'prize money.'

You know, sometimes the odds with a good horse in a big race is just enough to make the mortgage payment this month !
