Right. But it's trumped by the odds at Bookmaker.com, which still has over 200 horses listed. And Bodog still lists 30, including Hey Byrn at 50-1.

With these guys, you have to adjust your definition of "unethical" a bit. I did think it was unethical of CRIS (same as Bookmaker) to offer odds on a dead horse for weeks after the tragedy. (Midway Cat, 45-1, 2003; With A City, 75-1, 2006). TheGreek is actually pretty responsible about taking down lines when a horse is injured. They were usually faster than Pinnacle at reacting to news.
