Anybody notice the bizarro world with the odds?  For the running of the race and on the TVs the eventual winner is listed as 4-1 and the to be beaten odds on favorite is listed as 1-2.  However, after the race is over, somehow, the odds on the tote board on the winner drop to 7-2 and the beaten favorite\'s odds go up from 1-2 to 3-5.  Then, they took about 10 minutes after the race is declared official to come up with payoffs.  It was longer than the old days before quick official.  The winner did end up paying $10 even, so at least they honored what was on the screen in the minimum way possible, but I must say it made me feel really queasy and I imagined them trying to figure out what to do about the payoffs because the cosmetics were so bad.  How can the tote board odds change in a race after the finish of the race (without any scratches or non-starters).  It is just mind-blowing.
