You're correct, but it appears he changed his mind.
If anyone wants to go to the trouble of rereading Pace Makes the Race you'll be astounded (at least I was) at some of the prices those guys got on some very logical horses back then.
If those same races were run today you wouldn't get anywhere near those same prices, which is probably the reason that somewhere along the way Doc changed his mind about wagercapping.
