Tampa Derby question

I'm not complaining..... but am I the only one who was VERY surprised that in a very much hyped, race, with a HUGE 1-9 fave, no where near the ticket and the $2 exacta pays $64.80, and a $1 tri pays just under $220????

The thing that really surprised me was the 4 horse race, I think at Oaklawn, where the exacta paid $220, because the two 8-5 horses ran each other out, and a 6-1 won with the 11-1 taking second, there was no tri in the race.

The TVG crews were actually laughing earlier, saying not if ,but by how much War Pass would win was the only question. Also saying if WP wasn't on the ticket, it would be a signer.

I really thought before the payoffs, that having the $1 tri and $5 exacta would bring back over a thousand, obviously, I was wrong.

Just wanted to see what you guys thought.

I was really surprised that it wasn't a signer for the tri
heck the Super was under $1k and the show horse paid $76 for crying out loud

I think someone knew and loaded up
or the pools at Tampa are really small.
shouldn't be

I wonder if there wasn't some hanky panky going on
