I will track Tampa Bay's races tomorrow for a comparison & will come back here with results.
If you're a small to mid-range player though, the exchange offers some really solid opportunities, particularly if you prefer longer priced horses.

This thread has not been my finest moment...checked out the first 5 races from Tampa today, each race the track win pool total was greater than the exchange, by about 20-25% when they left the gate, and once factoring in-play wagering the total of exchange vs. track was pretty similar. Definitely not the dwarfing amount I thought earlier.
Not sure why the matched figures jump around so much, agree that I don't think you could cancel a wager, although there is a cash out feature which maybe reduces total, even though it is technically matching more to other players.
