Robert Lewis Stakes

Unless you are taking book why would you set it at any more than 100%?

Figuring in the takeout, or you wouldn't get the calculated payout @ 100%.
That begs the question, for SA why not use 116%?

[Andyc]

No Vince, when you set a line, you set it at between 126 - 129% depending on field size 8/1 = 11%, 3/5 = 62%, 5/2 = 28%, 3/1 =25% total 126%

Thank you for your help though...

If you were a morning line maker, yes, your percentages would be industry norm. If you are trying to predict the actual odds then Vince would be correct. I know I don't, and I suspect Vince doesn't give a rip, about the M/L. So if one of your clients were to ask you, "What odds do you think I will get on the 3 horse?" how would you respond? With M/L nonsense or a good estimate of reality.

Morning Line Odds:
Little Jerry, 8-1
Flashback, 3-5
Den’s Legacy, 5-2
He’s Had Enough, 3-1

[Crazykid]

is that the actual morning line?
i would think he's had enough will be the ml fav then drift up

In harness racing the M/L is normally set by the drivers in the locker room between races.

They also set the final results, the track just lists the prices.

same with the dogs, if you hear one bark twice then you know he isnt hungary for rabbit.

Could be easy for Flashback.

Could be easy for Flashback.

Certainly should be. He should win for fun and pay about $2.60 to win.
