Something tells me they have a direct CRW tie in to the tote. A single command from an algorithm submits a 'package' of (what they see as) optimal ticket structure for each pool given the situation per their numbers.
I'm also guessing none of them are using Twinspires (or Roberts) video.
They're teams. Think mini corporation.
It wouldn't surprise me if some of them have on track agents using an app on an IPhone to stream video of certain horses warming up along with the gate load, etc. They'd know if their contenders are looking and acting the part or if one of them (or the race favorite who they are betting against) is acting up at the gate.
That would enable their algorithms to be updated in real time for last minute info --
These are things I'd do if I were betting the kind of money they are.
