Candidate to bet on Kentucky Derby with political contributions?

Washington Wire - WSJ.com : Candidate Puts Funds on Derby Long Shot

"Sabrin, who is running in the Republican primary for the seat held by incumbent Democratic Sen. Frank Lautenberg, is using the proceeds from an hour-long online fund-raiser this afternoon to bet it all on Cowboy Cal in tomorrow’s Kentucky Derby."

Here's the press release: MurraySabrin.com - Press Releases

Here's his other advice on the Derby;

“If you want a more exotic wager, then try betting a triple by ‘keying’ Cowboy Cal with Colonel John, Gayego and Eight Belles to come in place and show. A $2 bet will cost you $12. If you win, I hope you will consider a generous donation to my campaign.”

I guess if you know you are donating to him to "possibly" win much more, I kind of like the outside the box thinking!

Will be interesting to watch...

Why didn't he just put it on the favorite?

A fool and his money...
