Overlays are way better than bet downs. Good example in the 8th at Aqueduct today. A Freud Of Mama was 8-1 on the morning line. I picked the horse to win, David Aragona picked it to win, Mike Beer and Andy Serling both picked it third. Obviously, the horse was a prime contender. It won and paid $48.20. A bad morning line maker may have made the horse 15-1 but NYRA's line is one of the best, so 8-1 was a good line and about what the horse should have been.
