#4 9.35%
#5 24.39%
#6 13.16%
#7 34.48%
#8 14.49%
Tot 118.54%

Now divide all these percentages by the total....

6.07%
5.59%
7.47%
7.88%
20.58%
11.10%
29.09%
12.23%
100.00%

Now Multiply the total pool by each percentage...

$25.25 1
$23.24 2
$31.06 3
$32.80 4
$85.60 5
$46.18 6
$121.02 7
$50.86 8
Total $416.00

I would imagine that the favourite has about $121.02 placed on it at that time...
