Think of it this way. Instead of betting $10 in this pool bet that $10 on him in the Goodwood where he'll be like 20-1. If you win then take half that $200 and bet it on him in the Classic at 12-1. If he wins you wind up winning $1,300 instead of $500 if you bet this pool. If he wins the Goodwood and loses the Classic you are still up $90. If he loses the Goodwood then you lose your $10 but can still get the 50-1 at the Classic. Most likely you'll wind up losing $10 in both the Goodwood and the Classic on a nag of a horse but isn't that better than losing it in a future bet because he gets injured?
