Simulcasting, ADWs and short odds
Has the advent of simulcasting and ADWs actually made it harder to find a horse with a decent chance to win at decent odds. I remember when you went to the track there were only 8 or 9 race to bet. Most people bet them all or at most passed one. Now days, we have our pick of a hundred race every day. Whenever a horse looks good he gets bet by people from all over. Since most smart betters are picking and choosing the races that they bet, the logical horse goes of at lower odds.
I know the way I worded this is about as clear as mud, but I hope you get the idea. JMO
