As has been explained numerous times here, most existing video graphics packages used by tracks cannot reflect final odds until you get the first change in the running order AFTER the final 10 second post-start odds "force". From the piece I wrote on this topic: http://www.derbytrail.com/writings/display.php?ID=36 (TRPB's Curtis) Linnell's office presented a report in September (2007) at the annual International Simulcast Conference in Kansas City that demonstrates the quirkiness of late-changing odds based on the TRPB's monitoring of pool accumulation in the minutes before the bell at this year's Del Mar meet. Only 73% of pools are generally accounted for with 1 minute to post, and an estimated 7% of handle is generated within seconds of the gates opening. Current systems cycle wagers every 45 seconds and add a forced cycle of the odds 10 seconds after the bell. Those elements conspire to give the appearence of large amounts of accrual coming in AFTER the gates open when patrons see odds change between the time the first and second flashes occur with races underway.
