The key is following the bigger pools. Very useful at Gulfstream and Saratoga in the maiden races. Not so much at Turfway right now because alot of times you will be following a $100 win bet.
On TVG when they show the early tote, one of the sharp on-air talents will say that horse X is taking all the early money. I'll look on youbet and the horse will have $150 in the win pool.
