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.

That's the description of the most useless job ever.

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