Nice case of PAST POSTING at AP: R1

[herkhorse]

Just curious -If you believe in all this past post stuff, why play conditional wagers at all? As it is there is usually at least a few minutes from "0" minutes to post to the time they are actually "off", so it's rarely accurate anyway, and that's before any alleged past posting.

A couple weeks ago I went to my stand-by teller at 2MTP and he told me "It's closed." I look at the screen and they aren't even done loading. So for at least some big races the AP OTBs shut you out EARLY.

The 7 horse, Enriched, was 3-1 as they entered the gate, 3-1 during the race, won and paid off at 7-2 ($9.60).

Just pointing out that the odds can go up.

You'll definitely appreciate today's 4th at AP, then. #2, Rochester Cat, is 9:2 as they load the last horse into the gate. He breaks dueling with the 1 and drops to 4:1 when they post the 1st flash. Just after the qtr split, when he's in a nice stalking position, the odds drop to 7:2 (where they remain). Seems to me, someone was allowed/decided to hammer him when they saw that nice stalking position.

He didn't win but this points to past posting to me.

I did notice that. I bet the 2, BEFORE the race started.
