Talk about well meant…

To my amazement, Compliance Officer,  monster-move clear as a bell, hovered around 8-1 prior to

Aqueduct's  8th race.  The horse's odds never dipped below 6-1 although, to me, it was at least the second best runner in the field.

I almost hesitated once or twice, while reaching for my wallet again and again to get more money  down on this  apparent gift.

Why was there no wagering action?

Then, absolute last-flash, odds dropped to 9-2. Somebody knew!!!  Officer was never threatened; winning by three lengths.
