As best as I can figure out, here's what happened???
The 2 was favored in Pick 3's for $202 bucks give or take for 50 cents. The 2 scratches at the gate. The Will Pays are still showing for the other horses based on the 2 still being part of the payoffs.
The 11 is paying 800 dollars plus for the 50 cent p3 and is a clear 3rd choice in the WIN POOL with the 8 and the 9 as the top 2 choices and CLEARLY SO.
The race is run, the 11 goes off favored at 2-1 despite NEVER being the one that would go favored according to Will Pay's or Win Odds prior to the Scratch. The 50 cent payoff is posted for the p3 for $250.50. How did this happen.
Others can help but something like this. After the 2 scratched, some holder or Holders(?) of large P3/P4/P5 sums realized they were getting likely the 8 or the 9 as the favorite for their p3 that was with the 2. Likely the 11 was their next choice after the 2 and they didn't want the 8 or the 9, so they then made a LARGE enough win bet to make the 11 (their next choice for the win) the favorite so that they cash that bet as well as the p3/p4/p5 which paid to the favorite if you previously had the 2. In essence, they immediately were able to recognize this fact, make the proper win bet to protect themselves based on their "handicapping" and show us all the sophistication involved.
That's the best I got to explain what transpired there. And given it happened in minutes, I doubt it was a human mind that conquered all of the math and in's and out's to accomplish that without Computer Robotic Assistance but others can enlighten me.
I have a screenshot of the $1 WILL PAYS for the P3 as a close friend was alive to several of these. When he won I told him he had the 1600 payoff. .. .WRONG. 500 bucks is where it ended up.
Hope the folks like Byk, DRF, Paulick et al will step up and get to the bottom of this exactly. I'm thinking of the article where the betting records of those final moments are released like we have seen at times in the past. Talk about sticking it to the little guy . . . this is who you are playing against. Wild.
Work early tomorrow, enough on this one for now but had to post.
