I was interested in the "All Others" numbers. The final odds were "2-1", but that could be anything from 2.0-1 to 2.4-1. The pool numbers at 6:44pm indicated it was 2.4-1. I was disappointed to wake up and find out I'd only gotten 2.1-1.

They must have had the correct final pool amounts in hand, otherwise they wouldn't have had the right odds for the individually listed horses.

Comparing this morning's numbers to the pool amounts showing at 6:44pm, there's this interesting result: Of the last $18,981 that was bet into the win pool, $15,071 was bet on "All Others"!
