Statement on Late Odds Shift Friday
July 11, 2020In Keeneland’s 6thrace on Friday, there was a significant late odds shift on the winner, Early Mischief (3). Upon request from Keeneland, the Thoroughbred Racing Protective Bureau analyzed the wagering records. During the last cycle, 26% of the win pool was received ($61,000). Of this amount, $16,000 was wagered on the 3 horse, dropping his odds from 10-1 to 5-1.
Upon examination, several large win wagers were placed on the 3 horse just prior to post and those were reflected as the horses left the gate. Keeneland refreshes win odds every 10 seconds to give the customer as accurate a picture as possible.
All wagers were time stamped properly and were placed prior to the start of the race.
