How do you guys define & differentiate your As from your Bs from your Cs. I understand that Xs are ones you feel have no shot a winning.
I usually have 2 or 3 As & the same amount of Bs. I think that could be beacuse I always used to play 3 horse exacta boxes and got in the habit of picking 3 horses every race.
I guess my take away from this exercise should be to narrow down my As to the one or maximum two horses that I feel have a REAL chance to win the race. Followed by Bs using them as the next most likely to win.
Thanks in advance for you comments.

Playing the P4 in this manner (NOT the P6, whereas the objective is to merely survive), you can emphasize your value selections by having a double or triple through your overlaid selections.
Essentially, a 15/1 horse can make a P4, whereas by using him as an A over perhaps a "more likely" 3/1 winner whom everyone will have I'm willing to sacrifice having a moderate payoff P4 for $2 or $3 instead of $1 for the one time a month or quarter where that 15/1 gets home, I want that one for the full $2.
