I have never encountered anything like it.

My quick take on this:
Horses are being bet down from sometimes generous Morning Lines. (John McGary got to know the place well and was spot on 99% of the time IMO. He's greatly missed here).
Woodbine shippers are over-bet. Some like the surface, many don't.
Indiana Grand shippers are overlooked. No matter what their form shows, many wake up here at double digit odds.
I believe horses that ran at Mountaineer in their previous race has won at most 3 times at MVR in their next race.
The local tip-sheet, The Postman's Picks has benefited from decent weather and a consistent surface. His top pick has won 64 of 167 races (38%). His 2nd choice has won another 36 for a total of 59.8% for the meet so far. (Shameless plug)
