I don't know. I can't tell you any valuable 'answers'.
My tinfoil bandana theory?
"Philanthropists."
( hey it's my conspiracy theory, and it's probably less crazy than track mgt coming up with a brilliant idea ).
You see...
Philanthropists 'seeded' the win pools early to eliminate the takeout in Win Betting.
Listen, Our bodies have an electromagnetic field.
We got greedy and overbet Epicenter ( opening 9/5 was a fair price regardless of how you interpret the trip and tactics ). So he was bet down to closer to normal betting prices.
All the other win contenders ( Early , and Voting ), were somewhere between fair odds and overlay.
Girl Power got a little underlay money. She had a reasonable chance of running 3rd or 4th, while her fair win odds were higher than 20/1.
The main Philanthropy or track-mgt-groupthink-genius$$ clearly came in on
Fenwick and
Happy Jack.
