A mutual clerk would not have taken money that was not on the table, unless he/she was crazy. They are responsible for shortages.
The CHRB is concerned with this event and others.
I have posted my opinion on this board before.
I think all the money coming in, is coming in at the last second, and it is the "value" bettors all jumping on a horse they feel is an overlay. There are computer programs out there that select accurate enough morning lines to show a profit, that is if the horse stays at the odds required. That's the hitch.
However.........NOT EVERYONE dismisses this as I have.
There is a lot of doubt. No one can argue that.
My comment was the concern of the public, and even many racing officials, that there is a "possiblity" of some other illegal dealings.
It is a real problem, because, yes, they could cut off bets at a minuet before post, but then you have other unfair consequences.
