Peope will see the big place price and a heap of people might back it, this causes the price to shorten because thats how the TAB works. Its possible for the win to be $1.40 and the place to be $5.50 because they are 2 separate pools of money but odds are that wont happen because people see the big price and go back it and if enough people do that then ll those big odds are gone. This happens alot more in greyhound and harness because of smaller win pools and if a few decent bets are placed on it then bam odds are shortend ight in and other odds will drift out to bigger prices when that one shortens
