I know NYRA stopped the last second win pool batch betting (I believe at 2MN to post) but that feels more like a perception correction. In other words, won't the batch bettors just focus on the blind pools more?

That's what I would do to keep my volume up.
This is anecdotal, but in the Alabama I liked Clairiere to finish 2nd behind Malathaat. Clairiere was the 5th choice (albeit close to 3rd choice) in the win pool but in the exacta pool she was the clear 2nd choice to finish 2nd behind Malathaat. Those kinds of things happen for a variety of reasons, but I've see a few like that lately. To me it's starting to feel like the win pool may be a little less efficient than the exotic pools now.
