Tampa Bay Downs in Oldsmar, Fla.
When he crunched the numbers for the last race of Saturday s High Rollers Handicapping Contest at Tampa Bay Downs in Oldsmar, Fla., Bill Chenvert determined 6-year-old mare Pugilist was the horse to beat in the one-mile claiming event on the turf.
Quick math also revealed Chenvert could not make enough money on the even-money favorite to win the contest. So he turned to his second choice, 4-year-old filly Caribbean Kitten, who had won her previous race and carried more generous odds of 9-2. After placing his contest wager of $100 to win, Chenvert, along with his son Brian and grandson Will, watched things unfold in the Skye Terrace Dining Room.
