Gamblers Fallacy

Back in the days of WPS and DD betting only (no gimmicks), the last race of the day at NYRA would often produce an underbet favorite winner. It was usually a Starter Handicap race, and quite formful; only way to "get out" for the day for many people was to plunge on a longshot, so there was a bias away from the chalk.

Don't have any "database" to prove this, but I guess this comes in as "anecdotal."
