There are tracks that, like you mentioned, seem to pour out nothing but favorites, but anticipating those days can be tricky. Before this last Los Alamitos 8 day meet an astounding number of top 3 RX horses won, but in this last go round, it seemed like one horse per day would ruin the pick 4 at 20-30 to one, with no credentials at all.

Its just an observation, but it seems to me that tracks that have state run stake races are usually days of very low paying odds, when the best state bred horses that run in open competition run down the ladder to meet their claiming class brothers and sisters. Fair Grounds, some of the Florida races, Md and even NY and California tracks come to mind.
