Finger Lakes Sept 19 1st Race

Yesterday was a chalkfest at good old FL. Today the first race is a 5 horse field and at the decision point the favourite was 1/9. Using FTL guidelines I had it down to the favourite #2 and #4 at 47/1 at the time, the longest odds horse. The thinking was what chance does my other contender have against a 1/9. We all know the usual outcome. But the odds were way out of skew and I bet them both with 40% of my bet on the 4 on the nose.

The favourite was out of the money. The 4 pays nearly as much to show as to win.

Weird,
Pook
