Horse A ran 3rd last start and horse B was the winner of that race (raced against each other). If horse B ran in a lower or similar class race today and came 15th when they redo the ratings the assessed price of $2 today would be dramatically altered to take into account that a horse which beat it (horse B) ran poorly today.
Its a bit hard to explain but hope you get the drift of it.

I except your explanation simply because I do not know any better myself.
However if I quoted a horse at $2 on my website and changed it to $7 after the race I'd be tarred and feathered in short notice I can assure you.
What is the POINT of putting up a price before the race and change it AFTER the race?
By all means change it if there is a scratching, but rating the same race again on the same day after the race had been run?
Makes no sense at all, unless you want to hide the fact that your rating was cr...p to begin with.
Trying to prevent collecting data is a silly thing to do too, because most people look at the neurals before the race anyway, so again why do it?
It's a puzzle.
Good luck
