Little Brown Jug is known well for this around here. I was not the only one who watched a man place his wagers on a race AFTER the gates swung closed and the Pacers or Trotters were off. A good 15 seconds after the gates swung close.

In the old days when there was racing at the Goshen Harness track about 50 miles north of NYC, the windows closed for betting when the mutuel manager blew a whistle. Often the whistle didnt blow until the horses were already in the backstretch (it was a 1/2 mile track) some 20 seconds into the race.
Those were the days that taking 2/5 on a favorite with the lead was a steall.
