Ah, so you lack a basic understanding of how the stock market works, but think you're qualified to make very strong statements about it.

They'd race to be the first, if tied prices within a batch are resolved in favour of the earlier bird. Otherwise, they would race to be the last, so they have the most information available when deciding on their price (and so that they can change their mind until the last nano-second.)
