We all hate when we make a bet and horse blows up at start or during race. You can take insurance on your bet in blackjack when dealer shows an Ace. How about a bet where you can insure it in case your horse goes on a break. say a 10.00 win bet you can insure for a small amount and get a refund if horse jumps. Of course odds would change when this occurs, but not everyone would take insurance, so might be minimal.

Definitely not the craziest idea I have ever heard.

insurance if driver stiffs?

Bring back the Over/Under bet. I loved that.
Also Odd/Even was awesome.

Allow the tracks to create another pool, they can benefit from the gambler, absolutely not!
Here's the solution...
Close the betting a few seconds before the gate opens.
Every track implements a Fair Start Pole i.e. Mohawk (needing to move theirs in a lot), and if you break outside of it, the horse is refunded, and other options on multi-leg like post time favorite is given.
Because of the refunds the racing secretary will eliminate historic breakers entering races.
You break and you have to re-qualify twice with no breaks at all.
Insurance is a suckers bet as it can be avoided.

What about insurance if you didn't know your driver was basically a mild functioning retard?
Oh wait, that is far too many to cover. My bad!

This actually happened to me at a fair. I bet a guy I never heard of. Decided to take a walk to the paddock. Here he was trying to snap the strap on his helmet on but couldn’t. He asked me for help. He had the helmet on BACKWARDS. I gave him help and IMMEDIATELY ran to cancel the 10.00 win and a few exactas. My friends bust my balls every year when we see this guy driving.
