I love the concept of fixed odds every race. But one potential problem I see is the increase in horses being dumped a couple of races in a row then when these so called math experts put the horse at 5-1 the horse goes ahead and wins while the inside connections put 10,000 to win (smaller track) or 100,000 to win (major track). Just think what would happen at a track like Fairmount where the favorite has normally 3000 in it. A sure thing at 2-1 instead of 1-5 would be a recipe for disaster for the track. I would be ok with that, but I see a ton of so called fixed races ahead.
Now if it were only one race a day and nobody knew in advance which race til close to the start of the races then it could work. But then there could be ways around that also.
