I'll try.
How many people usually go to the races? How many went on Saturday? I heard it was around 40000. How many of those people do you think understand or even care about the mathematics of racing. When a whole lot of drinking once a yearers line up to give their money away you can hardly blame the bookies for thinking xmas has come early. If you can make a book at 120% why offer better. I know it doesn't help the regulars but it may explain the poor markets. I think any clever punters would have steered clear of Randwick, wet track, leaders bias, big fields etc.
