Has no handle on the proper morning line. It should be ignored as it only serves to confuse.

The M/L on today's 1st was a joke. There was no way in hell Esther Got Even was going off at more than 3-5 and the guy made her 2-1 in the M/L. She won and paid $2.40. Ultimately it doesn't make much of a difference but it'd be nice to have a guy with some idea of how people will bet. Eric Donovan at NYRA is the best I've seen.

There's no basis...

There's no basis...You would think there would be some competency at a high profile track.

You might as well look at the graded entries that DRF puts out at the same time they put up the PP's.
I like to look at them when I need a good laugh.
They will have a horse that figures to be no worse than 2nd or 3rd choice as 20-1 or 30-1 sometimes.
I think they do it for kicks?

You think you will get 3-1 on Lentanor?

Gulfstream has set new levels of incompetency. Why should putting out a good morning line be expected from this place? They screw up just about everything else. After 3 years, they still can't get the fractional times of their races correct. I used to look forward to the Gulfstream meeting, but Magna has ruined it to the point that I barely pay it any attention. I hope Hialeah Park can somehow displace them in 2011, 2012 or beyond. Tampa Bay Downs is the Florida place to be these days.

I saw a 19.1 1st quarter last week. That's Talladega fast.
