Agree with Drugs on the pattern which creates this.

Don't know if it means much, but the TVG guy had it- there were 166 winning $1 tickets. If just 40 people followed along with him for a buck, the payoff goes from $617 for $2 to the actual $466.

Given that it was one of the only tracks running, it is a possibility.

Even though the $26 horse was the longest shot on the board, he was very logical. He was just coming off a win 6 days earlier where he drew off and won by widening lengths going 6.5f. It was a conditioned claimer and this was an open claimer for the same price, so he was stepping up a tad, but not that much for this track (I could be slightly off on some of these facts, I'm going by memory which is not good). Even a dumbass like me included him without much thought.

I was stunned that he paid $26. I think it was more of a case of the $26 horse being drastically overlaid in the win pool but was used properly in the P4 pools.
