That being said, I create my own odds line based upon the number of true contenders in the race. For example, 3 contenders might be 2/1, 3/1 and 4/1 totaling about 80% of the win pool. I always leave about 20% for the other horses to make allowances for surprises, bad handicapping etc.
Here is a good place to start : http://blog.twinspires.com/2012/07/m...odds-line.html
Good luck to you.
