Tom,
Not necessarily... You thought most highly of the 1 and played it that way. There's nothing wrong with that. And yes, a simple 4 horse box for $2 brings back $664.20. BUT... You still could have gotten better use of the $24 WITHOUT boxing the four horses
One thing to do there maybe was key your 1 on top for $2 ($12 and your strongest opinion of the race); Key 1 in 2nd with the 2-6-9 for $1 ($6 and a cover if the 1 faulters); Added cover box of 2-6-9 for $1 ($6 and a hedge if 1 doesn't fire).
"Only" brings back $82.10, but better than knowing you capped well and losing $24. You still would have been paid well.
