The bets drove the odds on the favorite up to 14-1 before a robotic wagering program targeted the favorite with an $8,359 win bet placed just before the race went off.

That makes it sound like the robotic worked perfectly. In less than 90 seconds, the Bot made a $8,359 win bet to drive the winners price from 14-to-1 to 5-to-1.

Here are some of the equine stars involved in this Ohio bred filly MSW race.

The 16.5 length winner as the longest shot on the board ran twice prior at Thistle -- she scorched a 29 Beyer in her debut and ran a 14 last time out despite chasing a 22 3/5 first quarter.




Here is the eventual 2nd place finisher and post time favorite in the betting: Only a 1-for-62 jockey, but she did surge out a 9 Beyer last time at a lower class level.




Here is the eventual 3rd place finisher: This one was able to secure a loose lead through a 23.20 opening quarter last time out and exploded with a 10 Beyer ... however, was jumping back up in class and retaining the 0-for-40 jockey.




Believe it or not ... this sensational performer did not finish last in the race: Note that the day she exploded and ran a Beyer of 1 -- she was able to press a trotter like pace of 28.60 and 54 flat going a mile. Seriously, that's a buggy race pace.

You know something, Rosie Day has a nice turf pedigree.

Dayjur out of a Trempolino mare.

I can't believe they haven't tried her on the grass yet...talk about mismanagement of such a fine animal.

Costs too much to ship to River Downs!

Beyer said they may adjust that 10 figure.
