I think in the past the odds were shown by TVG. This year it looks like it was (mis)handled by Churchill itself.

Looks like they put up the raw data from the tote system this year. That's pretty much how a racetrack gets it's odds and prices from the tote system. The video department usually spruces it up a bit when they present it to the public on the TV's.
I agree it looked a bit cheesy compared to previous years.
