Well, a lot of it depends on how much money you are willing to invest. From there you figure out the cost difference in each race for elevating a horse from one list to another.
One thing to keep in mind is " value ". How much money does it make financial sense, from a value standpoint, to invest in a sequence that involves two 25-1 shots? For instance, suppose ( to keep it simple ), you were going to have a 25-1 shot as an A in both the first and second leg. Thus you would have a huge number of tickets generated off those two horses. Well, a $2 parlay on those two horses pays $1300. Can you honestly justify having even $48 worth of play off that combo? How about $128? There is something to be said for never including a Pick-6 combination where the parlay is over the total pool. Now, obviously things change in substantial carryovers, and the bigger your ticket the greater your scope, but there are a great deal of questions one needs to ask themself when seriously constructing tickets. Your ability to understand the answers to these things will ultimately simplify the decisions about which list to place horses on.
To repeat something I just said to Sightseek, Picking winners, or surviving races through selections is not that hard, but finding a way to get all the winners on one ticket is the hard part.
