The betting had stopped, but the data is still being sent to the host AFTER the windows close and the race is running. This is becasue the transmission is slowed by collecting and uploading. Most tracks are too cheap to use point to point technology.

Thats great and all and im sure true to an extent but how do you account for the winners odds going DOWN EVERY TIME. And why when you look at exacta probables as horses are going to the gate your exacta is paying $20 and then when you hit and the race goes official it only pays $15. Can anyone honestly say that their exacta has ever paid more then when the last time you saw it before the race went off? I think I can say with complete confidence that it has NEVER happened. I think bettors have become so accustomed to it that they dont think twice about it because its been the norm for so long. Something isnt right.
