The first four races, however, were a complete mystery to me. My best chance of success in them is to break out a dart board. It was obvious that the morning linemaker was also having difficulty with that part of the card. In race 4 for example the linemaker made the favorite 7-2 in a field of 9 and then made the longest price in the field 8-1. I sincerely doubt that the actual betting will reflect that. But I'm out at sea as to how to play the race.
Hope that all of you do not have as much trouble with this part of the card.

I couldn't make any sense out of races 1-2-4. Race 3 was pretty much the same with a case being made for at least 4 different horses so I just threw them in a blender and wanted to see what came out . Of course I saw 7 horses with a chance so it will be interesting to see which one of the 3 remaining wins the race.
