This is absolutely a misrepresentation. You are indeed correct that he dropped from 10 to 5/1 in the last flash, but watching live on TVG the horse's odds were already displayed as 5/1 on the backstretch about 1/8th of a mile into the race.
I saw in the first race the eventual 3/2 favorite was 7/2 just before they popped the gate (he lost), so there was some crazy late money there today.
