Default Discreet Cat and Watchmaker

Does anyone else but me thinks that it is odd that Watchmaker has Discreet Cat that fav for the BC Mile and BC Sprint?

He's the favorite for both the Sprint and Dirt Mile on Watchmaker's line - because if there was betting taken on both races now - he'd be the one bet to favortisim.

The linemakers job has nothing to do with his own handicapping opinions. His job is to predict how the public would bet the race.

Perhaps that's why the overwhelming majority of linemakers suck.
