Gate Odds are taken when the first horse enters the gate. The final odds are self explanatory. The last dump odds are the odds the horses were bet in the last dump. For this week the last dump has averaged 36% of the win pool. For this race it was 23 percent of the win pool. 1 of two races where the last dump was under 30 percent.

...and how do you propose race tracks stop that 'last dump'? The 'last dump' is very different from odds changing during the race - which, unless you want to stop betting when the horses start to load is inevitable.
Several years back, Belmont (maybe all NY tracks) locked betting when horses started to load. I have never heard so much bitching as when pools would lock when horses started to load - but hey, at least the odds weren't changing during the race.
There is literally no pleasing some of you people. What do you want? No odds changes during the race - or no 'final dump' odds change?
