I am interested in hearing some feedback regarding the following Pick 6 Wagering thoughts???

If you were to go 3 deep in all six races, then based upon $2 per combination, it would cost you 3x3x3x3x3x3x2 = $1428
To cut down on the cost of the ticket I have used a strategy of keying a top pick in each of three out of the first five legs…the thought process being that with a little luck and some decent handicapping three of my top selections in the first five legs will win…also I figure that if I am alive going into the last leg then I want to have multiple chances of making a score…so each ticket will have all three of my selections for the final leg
The tickets would look like this: (A= top selection, B & C are backup selections)
A/A/A/ABC/ABC/ABC ($54)
A/A/BC/A/ABC/ABC ($36)
A/A/BC/BC/A/ABC ($24)
A/BC/A/A/ABC/ABC ($36)
A/BC/A/BC/A/ABC ($24)
A/BC/BC/A/A/ABC ($24)
BC/A/A/A/ABC/ABC ($36)
BC/A/A/BC/A/ABC ($24)
BC/BC/A/A/A/ABC ($24)

Total cost for the 9 tickets is $282

• If my top picks win all 5 of the first five legs then I’m alive going into the final leg.
• If my top picks win any four of the first five legs and one of my backup selections wins the other leg then I’m alive going into the final leg.
• If my top picks win any three of the first five legs and one of my backup selections wins the other two legs then I’m alive going into the final leg.

I have hit a couple of Pic 6’s using this basic Strategy (one for 12k and another for 8k)
(I think I may have gone two deep in one race and four deep in another as a slight variation)
