<br />An added comment about the Prime Power ratings. This is their computer rating of each horse in the race based on all the usual handicapping angles...speed, pace, class, etc. It's been around for about ten years and their top pick wins about 30% of all races...that's why I use it because it seems to be an accurate barometer of the talent in the race and a good base for an odds line.

<br />I use the Prime Power ratings from Brisnet.com and create an odds line from them using a morning line generator program. Then I adjust for track takeout and have to tweak it a little to be on the same playing ground as the morning line odds maker. <br />It is very helpful to transform a series of ratings into odds. The Prime Power ratings are very good to use for doing this.<br

Sound advice.<br />How did you determine fair odds of 5:1
