However, the accounts were not shut down in time for the bettors to attempt another strange series of bets in the eighth race at Thistledown, investigators said. In that race, which was won by the third choice, the mutuel pool was $60,530, but investigators said that the final size of the pool was lower than the size of the pool prior to the last odds cycle because of a flurry of late cancellations that remain under investigation."

Sounds to me more than a computer "glitch"...

You, sir, are a cynic!
