this is only one example and of course proves nothing - still kind of interesting
race 11 yesterday KY Downs - 9/1 over 11/1 paid $175 - an 11 horse field
when I saw that I went back and looked at some races at Saratoga, IIRC this race wasn't from yesterday, anyway
I don't have it at hand to link but I saw a race in which a 37/1 over a 16/1 paid only $217 in a 7 horse field
Thaskalos's point is a great one - I was going to mention that but he beat me to it
