Any idea why $100,000+ on Top Billing early. Seems very odd particularly given post and speed favoring track.

What was also interesting is that the $100K opening flash plunge didn\'t affect the correlation between the horse\'s final win odds and that based on the DD Will Pays. He was 2-1 in the Will Pays, opened at 1-2, went into the gate at 8-5, and down the backstretch moved up to... 2-1.
