Betting after the bell

Check out race #2 @ Golden Gate today. Perfect example

With a 4 horse field and 30k in the win pool, odds can shift dramatically. Odds do change during the race because the odds reflected on the board isnt neccesarily real time.

High frequency trading horse racing is not

You are most likely right, however the race tracks don't want to do something about the perception. The hose pops the gate and opens up an easy lead, the horse is 4/5 for 1/4 mile then odds change to 1/5. Another race in question and brought up by Roger Stein on his show was the 1st race at Santa Anita on May 3rd.

That Santa Anita race was something else.
