Huge Late Bet
 

It looks like Java's War went from 26-1 down to 21-1 as the horses were entering the gate. I'd like to know how big the bet was. Does anyone know where I can find win pool totals for each horse? Frac Daddy and Java's War were both right around the same odds with a minute to post, so I could probably figure out the amount of the bet by comparing their final win pool totals.

Thanks.

Expressbet usually has the pools from the previous days races. Orb was 600k behind Revolutionary with 1 minute to post.

If anyone with an Expressbet account can help me, I'd appreciate it.

I saw the same thing as Port Conway- Orb was ~$600k behind Revolutionary with 2 MTP. And goes off favored by a full point? Really? That's like over a million dollar swing in that pool.

No horse over 40-1 odds. The last couple years we have seen no horses carrying huge odds. I suspect their is some computer based algorithmic trading going on.

The pool is still showing at:

I hadn't realized Vyjack had gone all the way down to 18-1!

I wasn't watching the board but we were buzzing about Orb sitting at 9-1 forever. That's a big move in a pool that size. Not exactly tourist money.
