Of course there's a CONSPIRACY here. This is PAST POSTING and most of the tracks allow their big bettors to bet after they break. (Why wouldn't they when they can blame on faulty technology or criminal behavior?) This is especially noticeable for front runners that get a clear lead. Just another way the tracks make this an UNFAIR game. Which makes it all that more delicious when you pick a longshot (that actually goes UP in odds) and stick it up their corrupt FAT asses.

This is why you just can't play 4-5:1 or lower anymore. Especially if you bet with an eye towards 'value'.
