Considering Leo O'Brien almost never wins I can't imagine it is too special.

This is one of the sillier " angles " if you ask me. So Johnny rides a few for his father-in-law, and taking the mount on a 2-1 shot today was hardly any kind of big favor, and they are always overbet due to the combination. I would be shocked if the ROI is anywhere close to the takeout ( 1.70 ) and would expect it to be much closer to 1.00. Probably 1.25 is the absolute high end.
