something is fishy with derby pool #2

[boston]

at 1130am pct sunday morning peace rules had $12,566 bet on him.  when betting closed he only had $11,113.  someone canceled their bets.

this should be illegal.  one could easily manipulate the odds if this is legal.  just put $20,000 on any horse which would make them the favorite.  this will keep all but the dumbest people from betting him.  one minute before close cancel all but a few hundred on him.  i am sure there are many better ways than this, but there is no way people should be able to cancel their wagers.

i also remember wagering was stopped on a horse last year during the 3 day wagering period.  he had around $1000 total on him.  why couldn\'t these people cancel their wagers?  i remember churchill downs told them tough luck.  why wasn\'t it tough luck for the people who bet the $1453 that left pool #2?
