I've thought the same, but it's easy for us to play MMQB and say "I would have done this/that", but at the end of the day isn't the objective to construct the most optimal ticket based on your opinion? In this case, I would have done the same. I didn't like Always Dreaming, and neither did he. Thus, take a stand against. (I have not seen the actual tickets played since we cannot enter the pools in California, so I don't know what the amount of money was excluding said horse.) It shouldn't matter that it's "other people's money", since in essence they are investing in your "expertise."

There is an enormous difference playing against a favorite with a few hundred dollars of your own money and playing with $30,000 of other people's money, losing every cent of it when one of the most likely winners comes in, and then having a piece of a separate, contradictory winning ticket on your own. It's a goddamn joke Phil, and if he wasn't your boy, you would be saying that too instead of this lame "oh it's easy to MMQB" bullshit.
