I can only assume Katie has been given the role as the back-up ML maker.

If not her, someone who never made it past 4th grade and doesn't know basic math.

I'm not sure. I suppose people might be more likely to toss in all horses who are 7-to-2 or less on the morning line...so maybe.

That morning line shows a 46% win takeout.

Most of them are done using a 120 point model -- which always shows a 16.6% takeout.

120 points is usually the basis all right, but this one looks like it was done with no regard for a total.

Are we all sure that none of the listed horses are AE's or MTO's? It would look close to right if horses 9-12 are not going to draw in.

Nah. Leave it be.
