Why do they bet T Merton down in virtually every race?

watching replays  from last Thursday -- T Merton, raced a dead lame horse that tried to fall down in every turn, cracked on the straight away going to the 3/4 pole and tried to jump it off and then ran out and hooked wheels with the 8 horse ( who is the 6 in this race coming up and why I liked )
so I looked this horse Merton horse up expecting it not to be into race..... nope raced yesterday off 6 days rest beaten 11 lengths.

race 7


The starting gate was moving -- wings open -- a couple of horses turning

okay -- this is pretty normal

butttttttt

the 3 horse was in the paddock ---- ooopsss    RECALL

So last week the #6 was 2-1 from the 8 pole last. Breaks at start and comes back ok. 40-1 today vs. ame field.

Dink   what are we missing?

and same horse hooked wheels with a Merton rat top of the lane or would've been an easy 3rd basically parked the whole mile last start.

I don't even use a program --- just watch replays ---

Race 3   #4, is back in Monday racing against F&M, this start is open condition
             #6     $27.60

Race 7   #4, blasted off gate last week from 7 hole, still fits same class
             #6, had 8 hole last start, made break at start, grinded out a trip, hooked wheels top of lane  $94.50

Race 10  #5, followed dead cover, back half wasn't real fast but still liked the close.

#1  for starter, count the horses as they come on the track.  I know thats tough with full fields.
