The Art of Misdirection

To be fair he had laid first Peterle but the second his 2nd lot of money at 6s starts getting touched (7dollars) it flies against him and 600 is laid out at 6.2 and continues matching out.

Thanks Euler!

Would have been nice if it had ran a couple of seconds longer as well switesh. I'm guessing once fully redded out the backers came back in?

Yeah it did come in eventually, but I didn't pause to think - just execute.
The 2nd graph shows that there was no Back money for about 20 secs.

In my opinion as you were scalping (no opinion on the result) you did the right thing as you can't depend on others to suddenly start backing it, even if it appears it was being backed before getting shafted. If you had left it open I'm sure it would not have come back in until the dying seconds of the race if it had any chance at all. At least that's what always seems to happen to me on ausy
