Finger Lakes
 
I'm sure that there are posters that have tracked Finger Lakes far longer than I have. So, i'm just putting this out as a question.
Do any of those that bet Finger Lakes notice that the ml favorite might just be the best bet against?
I haven't been keeping records on this for too long, but...take this past Friday as an example...the only ml favorite that came close was #3 Hurcules in the 9th, got the place.
Does anyone else notice this about Finger Lakes?
Thanks for your input.

Yeah, Posttime favorites do well, but DTS is talking about Morning Line favs... I'm thinking if ML favs are doing this poorly, they need to fire the track handicapper who's setting the ML!!!! :p

Thanks for the input.
Yes, I was talking about m/l favorites.
I honestly don't have near enough data yet.
I'm not saying the guy that sets the m/l should be fired. It was just something that I noticed.
Thanks,
DTS

DTS, I know, I was just kidding. I think if anything, it shows how difficult it can be to handicap, especially with so many of the races being 4k claimers at Finger Lakes.

Zippy,
It's a tough job. I forget the guy's name, only crossed paths with him once.
My guess is that he uses the workouts to try to figure m/l for those 4K claimers.
