After news of a big Pick-6 being hit you often hear the PR dept. from the host track saying the ticket was either purchased on track or give the
specific simulcast venue or ADW provider in which the ticket was originated. Sure that takes some digging but they can get to it. That
is 3rd parties cooperating.
I don't think anyone is calling for every wager to be scrutinized, just the ones that create headlines, like these recent NYRA examples or ones like the Firenze Fire price drop during the Dwyer Statkes back in July.
IF they wanted to NYRA could make public every wager that was pass posted on the "Cross Country" Pick 4, or the ones that helped create that big, late, price drop on FF.
Sure, it takes some work to get to the pertinent data but it's not near the cumbersome process you seem to entail, especially considering you are looking only at a specific time frame, usually only no more than the last couple of minutes of the wagering process. Again, NYRA, or any wagering venue, could be far more transparent, but they won't. There is simply nothing good that will come out of it from their standpoint.
