Yes, the morning line comes out to a 28% takeout. Ridiculous.
I have a spreadsheet that I offered here (for free) last year which will take a set of odds and adjust it to any takeout you specify (or to no takeout, if you want a "fair odds" line). Anyway, I put in Battaglia's odds and here's what you get with a 16% takeout: Cool Coal Man 23 Tale of Ekati 18 Anak Nakal 35 Court Vision 23 Eight Belles 23 Z Fortune 18 Big Truck 59 Visionaire 23 Pyro 7 Col John 4.7-1 Z Humor 35 Smooth Air 23 Bob Black Jack 23 Monba 18 Adriano 35 Denis of Cork 23 Cowboy Cal 23 Recapturetheglory 23 Gayego 18 Big Brown 7-2 The rounding actually moves this to a 17.2% takeout, but at least that's in the ballpark. (oops, wrong sport metaphor) btw, phil, from the title of this thread I thought you were going to post an ML for a sloppy track! I immediately went to weather.com to see how bad the weather was going to be! --Dunbar
