For example, if Big Brown is 7/2, the MINIMUM Colonel John and Pyro would have to be is 12-1 for all of the other horses he has at 15-1 and 20-1 to be close to those prices.

Just an FYI so you can better determine what your choice will be at the post.

Ya I thought everyone seemed too low - but I can see how he had trouble. When I tried to make a line the other day it felt like every horse would be in the 20-1 range.
