I will be wagering early, no whining. Just a question.

You are right but the relationship between Xpressbet and AmTote is not a "third party contractor hired by Xpressbet." They are the vehicle for which wagers are entered into the pool. These things happen, they're unfortunate when they do, but it was out of Xpressbet and Twinspires' control. All they can do is check with AmTote to ensure a similar situation doesn't occur in the future.
In 2008 I sat like an idiot in the Hilton Racebook and watched the first four races from CD with no ability to wager. It wasn't the fault of the Hilton, the Las Vegas Simulcasting Co. was down. Sort of the same thing.
