I'm curious how people playing in the win pool handle a horse like Midas Eyes. He opened at 6/1. It was clear that (1) he was a good play at that price, and (2) he wasn't going to stay there.
When he started to drift down, I lost interest. I've had enough experiences where I bet a horse like that at 4/1 with 2 minutes to post, only to see him get hammered to 2/1 or 5/2 late, that I choose not to get involved any more.
I've tried using exacta prices as a gauge, but that doesn't seem to work. If the horse gets hammered, both the win and exacta pools are often affected.
Any suggestions?
