    Perhaps the line maker instituted this line in hopes it would create a larger pool? Just speculation, but no line maker could honestly believe he'll be any higher than 4/5 (and thats even stretching it).

    This was "lucky" anyways, pun intended. Had he not been sick he would not be there.

    This isn't an unusual phenomenon. Morning-line makers often issue "false" lines in the hopes that people will see them and think, "Wow, I can get 5/2 on Lookin at Lucky today? I'd better go to the racetrack!".
