I have seen this happen at many of the smaller tracks but MNR is the worst offender.
The bigger problem I'm seeing now is that the same shit is happening at NYRA and SoCal tracks. I think it is time for the feds to look into this and see wtf is going on. I am not a huge punter but this kind of activity is driving me away from the sport I love.

Of course, the smaller betting pools at small tracks take much less betting $$$ to significantly alter the odds, but you already knew that,,,,
D'N'YA???????......There was likely no cheating because at most tracks, a disproportionate amount of the betting pools come from off-track locations, and are impossible to display as the gates open. The solution would be to hold the gates until all the odds are displayed for everyone. Making it too late to adjust your wagers anyways. If you feel your horse will be overbet late, there's a damn good chance you are right.
