Yes, and I was very close to betting $33 on Catholic Boy in Race 10 who paid 12.20 (I think) instead of my Race 7 wager . . . shoulda woulda coulda!?

With 36 seconds to go you had the ROI win in the bag and then Firenze drops from 5-1 to 5-2 during the running of the race.

That happens all too often. I will watch the tote, wait until the MTP reads 0, decide that the odds on my selection are favorable, place the wager just before the load, and then watch my overlay become an underlay just about the first call of the race.

We always hear about the "late money", but where exactly does that late money come from? Is it program driven?

How can you watch the tote? On your computer?

Yes OUCH! You mean when they left the gate. The odds can't change after the gates open or maybe there's a delay in the final odds that pop up after they are off, I guess. Yes, that's why I bet him at 5-1, to me having a very good chance to win. Oh, well, whaddaya-gona-do? Sometimes I surprise myself as to how racing "smart" I am, with a Jackie Gleason HARDY-HAR-HAR!!!
