the morning lines are usually the first line shown on the tote immediately following the payoffs of the previous race ( sometimes simultaneously ). Depending on the track / situation opening lines when there is money in the pool is posted within a minute or three. There is "always" some money in the pool from Aunt Betty betting every race for the day for $2.00
