Pat Cummings posted the 7-5 exacta in the last 3-4 cycles

1:33.07, 992.52, 95.13 total bet
1:33.37, 1020.95, 100.13 total bet, $5 wager
1:34.07, 1333.67, 103.13 total bet, $3 wager
1:34.27, 286.74, 549.13 total bet, $446 wager

No one talks about the 13 cents in the pool I guess.

That aside, he says the pool was "settled" at 19 seconds into the race.

I've watched the replay over and over again. I've been told that the 578 was the bet for the score, 411 were hedges with those and that the 7-14 exacta went UP.

At 5f or later is when you can say the 7-14 is not going to happen and that 7 likely wins and that 5 11 will run down the 14.

Racing will tell you that folks are just that good at handicapping but they can't do it at 2 minutes to post, they always are the very last ones to wager, they are always able to get their wagers in, and they can make 10k bets in one second but it takes 19 seconds for the pools to reconcile and "settle."

All very logical (sarcasm) and all very interesting as the game continues to slide when it comes to public confidence in the integrity of the pools.
