There's always something to be said for taking flyers on longshots in a race like this, considering the price the winner often pays, and the infrequency with which the favorite has won in recent history. As a clarification, though, I should note that my figures are based on a 100% line (to allow direct comparison of the line with the toteboard odds for purposes of calculating true overlays in terms of potential payoffs). Thus, the toteboard odds (which factor in take and breakage) will be lower than my line if the public and I have the same opinion of a horse's chances, making the horse an underlay (by my line) for individual win-betting purposes. (However, that's not to say that the same horse cannot offer value as part of separately-pooled exotic wagers.)
