    Interesting question. I think for some of you serious players out there it wouldn't matter. In fact, you all probably have your own m/l running through your head before each meet anyway - not to mention examples of way wacky m/l's from certain track handicappers over the years (insert names here)

    The question then becomes, if the track doesn't make the m/l will serious players stand to make more money and would that subsequently drive the casual bettor away? If so, the track loses.

    Just a thought . . .

    I think you're right, BUT, it hugely benefits a track to have a really good line maker, so the money is distributed back to everyone, creating more churn.



    Then again, Jon white just makes 5 horses 3-1, and that probably has the added effect of causing people to use more horses than they would/should.

    Personally, I would love it. It'll never happen though. Way too many people just looking at the sheet/program and blindly betting the favorites. Without a morning line, they couldn't bet (at least not multi-race wagers, that's for sure).

    Apparently he doesn't go until 6:30 or something. Hopefully he stays above 5/2.

    Broke even? Made 5 bucks it's gonna be close. Apparently he ran second and still broke the old track record...

    I'm probably gonna regret this because I'm trashed, but why is Joel riding at Sam Houston in the middle of the night?
