Easy way to avoid this problem, don't bet firsters or races involved with them....Tough to make a line on baby races.

This whole thread is LOL. People who bet based on ML's are why yesterday's late P4 at KEE paid $1865 when in reality it should have paid around half that because a 15-1 ML horse (trained by PLETCHER!) who won a wide open, mile and a half turfer first leg at 7-1. The other winners were 2nd choice, 4th choice (2nd ML), and heavy favorite.

Battaglia missed on the ML. The horse should have been 6-1 ML or so, and as Hooves said scratched Friday for this spot. Big deal, it's a firster, he generally does a good job at making morning lines (whereas he should have retired from calling races long ago)
