I'd like to point out there is at least one other reason people don't pick or even bet a winner:

Please note the payouts. As with "Lady Lira" there is an awful lot of unsophisticated gambling money wrapped up in Plech runners, especially at circuits he can "skate" at.
The above doesn't necessarily mean that anyone betting or cashing the Haskell is unsophisticated. But being unsophisticated is kinda like Alzheimer's. The subject never knows he has a problem.
The truth, of course, was that the Haskell was a poor return and even a poorer wager, but we did learn some things from it. We already knew some things too (If we've been paying attention.) One of those things is that Plech was just another of the Lukas progeny until he took on a particular vet. And now his horses seem to run very fast on the layoff ship and unreal fast at certain circuits. At least they do so once.
