The 7-2 is the price BETWEEN the flash before the gates opened and at the opening of the gates...

The 3-1 is the price OFF THE FINAL TOTE FORCE which comes 10 seconds after the gates open...

Understand that these prices get into the television visual package in that order ONLY IF THERE IS A CHANGE IN THE RUNNING ORDER... The odds are NOT changing as the race is being run the way that visual makes it appear...

NO MNEY GETS IN THE POOL AFTER THE 10 SECOND FORCE..

Steve, there is at least a 99% chance that all of the above is true, but can you speak with 100% certainty? Because if you can, you are privy to some information or computer programming code that I am not.
The bottom line is, just like with horsemen who want a level playing field, I only want all pari-mutual wagerers to have a completely level one as well. I don't care if you bet $10 or $10,000, NO ONE should have an advantage over another based on the tote system.
The problem, in my estimation, is the tracks have no financial interest in guaranteeing this, as they care not who wins and loses, as long as they get their $ off the top.
