This is true for a lot of books. Some are horrible. A few years ago CRIS left a dead horse on its Ky Derby futures for weeks after the mishap. (giving new meaning to "beating a dead horse") On the other hand, TheGreek has historically been very good about taking down injured horses. A couple of times I've learned of a horse's injury only after noticing that TheGreek had taken down the horse's odds.
