What has happened to the 25,30,40 to one's?

What has happened to the long prices on the tote boards these days? I'm watching a race in which there is a 12 horse field and 8 horses are almost 4-1 only. How can that be? It certainly can't be $2 bettors who bet colors and lucky names controlling the tote board. so how can the odds never change? I'm watching the board in another race a 10 or 11 horse field and 7 horses are 13-1 with no odds higher than that. There doesn't appear to be any 40-1's or 30-1's anymore.It's like someone was betting every horse in the race to pay a specific price that they want it to pay. something's not right with the odds anymore.

I will give you a solution to your problem. Try harness racing. There are always a few 50-1 shots in every race with 10 horses. Damn, 8 horse fields always draw a couple horses over 30-1, guaranteed.

Not seeing the logic here.
Just checked yesterday's Saratoga results.
There were 72 starters. 18 of those ( 25%) were sent to post with odds of 15-1 or greater.
14 (19.4%) with odds of 20-1 or greater..
Case closed

I dont have stats to back it up but I'm pretty sure huge bombs win at a higher rate at tb tracks vs harness

You are probably correct. However, he didn't ask for winners, he asked for high priced horses on the tote board!
