Default Futures Pool 3

There is a bit of an anomaly in the Oaks/Derby Double. One of the lowest payouts currently are at $29 for the Mott fillies with the Mott colt. Lake Avenue / Harvey’s Little Goil with Modernist.

In the win pool, the fillies are 12-1 and 11-1 and Modernist is 30-1. Anyone able to explain this? Is this just the case of one big bettor tilting the payouts?

One idiot, Byk will immediately think of the same person as me, and a tiny pool.

Lol...makes sense. I’m quietly rooting for Modernist’s final win odds to be higher than the $1 payout for the double.

I don't know what his odds will be, but I do know the return on a win bet.

Yup. It will pay out the same amount as my $1 double for Wicked Whisper and Maxfield.
