I have been on the other side of this where my horse's odds jumped way up (to where I would have played it) because of someone placing a huge sum on some sure shot.
I am no longer clear on what my strategy should be when I like a horse and the odds seem already too low.
I do watch the odds like a hawk looking for signs of some money coming in. I saw a small dip around 12 mtp (around when the first money starts to arrive) but nothing that indicated there was any huge money coming.
I did not save it, but I think the exactas were already reflecting some big money was involved.
