SR2,
Makes us wonder doesn't it...the traps in small fields ...yet some time ago a certain character attempted to divert attention away from this anomaly.
Makes the punter believe that markets in such races are framed "over-around" ie. the true chances are the supposed longshots...but then again I'm sure that some people benefit from laying the favourites in such races.
Such is the state of Sydney racing....you make your own mind up....!
(Oh yeah...Moderator....take my concerns to the relevant authorities...).

Cheers.
