Tomorrow's first race at Hastings:

1 Santana Winds 5-1
2 Victim of LoveL 3-5
3 Tamis Stormtrooper 8-1
4 P. S. Bravo 9-2
5 Alert N Wise 7-5
6 Battle of Hastings 8-5

OK, now I follow Hastings and generally I think the ML maker does a decent job. But a 3-5, 7-5 and 8-5 in the same 6 horse race? That's a total of 188%, I believe...should be around 120-125%.

Could be a misprint...the 2 may very well be 3-5, but more than one of the odds is misprinted then. You could eliminate the 7-5 shot and it still adds up to 146%.

Nasty.....
If that's the best their M/L person can do, there has to be better out there.

For what its worth, Hastings website (race analysis page for tomorrow night) indicates that Victim of Love will be scratched- ineligible. If you remove him, the balance of the ML makes more sense

At most minor league and middle of the road tracks,the person that does the morning line usually holds an other job at the track like cook, hot dog seller ETC.:lol::lol::lol:
