I saw this summary on the race typed by someone else, but puts it in a bit better perspective......
Make of this what you will:
[a] 2 year old filly trotters
7 horse field, the winner's morning line was 8:1
[c] of all the exactas with the big 2:5 shot favorite (#2) running second, the one that came in was the lowest possible:
1-2 $96
3-2 $38
5-2 $21
6-2 $30
7-2 $22
8-2 $449
[d] the turns were more or less evenly distributed with the big favorite on top
2-1 $35
2-3 $15
2-5 $16
2-6 $11
2-7 $11
2-8 $82
[e] Tri of 5-2-7 came back $294 for $1. Obvioulsy the value relative to the $22 exacta, considering the # 7 horse was 2nd choice in betting, and 2nd choice morning line.
[f] Pre take out pools; $4,055 exacta, $6,105 trifecta. For arguments sake lets say the take out is 22%, then you are talking about $3,162 in distributable exacta money; and $4,761 in distributable tri money.
[G] Net win monies bet on each horse went like this.
1 - $118
2 - $1,605
3 - $145
5 - $45
6 - $277
7 - $467
8 - $52
Yes the exacta was short, but with the #3, #5, $6 and #7 winning (with the favorite 2nd) they were all coming back about the same amount. So, before the grassy knoll conspiracy is pursued, my take on this is that [1] no monies bet in any pools other than the tri, and that was only $6k pre take out and [2] simply that no one bet the winner to win. Think about it; if there was another $60 to bet on this one to win, he goes off at about 18:1, another $100 then he goes at 14:1, etc.

Hazel Park is one of the tracks I always talk about. This tracks mutal pool are the one of the smallest on the simulcast. I dont think this is highly unusual there at all. This is a track where you can take full advantage of betting offshore as it doesnt hurt your odds. There is some xrazy payments there all the time.
