It didn't start odds on, it was $2.50 win $1.60 place Tatts. Actually shorter in other states. Its not just a case of tricking mugs into loading up on first fours including a dog that was no good, they backed it heavily in the first four pool on Tatts. You don't get a $14k first four on a dog race just because the $2.50 favourite misses the first four, as vic and nsw shows you get a $4k divvy.
Swab results will be very interesting.
