Whales zero in on the high takeout bets.

This is because their rebates are tied directly to the take at most tracks. That is, the higher the takeout, the higher the rebate. Thus, the higher takeout tracks/pools have a larger potential advantage.

I guess it depends on your definition of "whale". If a whale is strictly a player who works on high-volume churn/rebate, then I suppose you're right.

I know of a few players who bet big sums on a select few races (meaning a handful per month). I would imagine that the low-takeout exotics are the first place they look.
