Again, depends. I liked Friendly Island some as a crazy longshot in the Sprint back in '06. Did I think he could win at 60-1? No, not really. Bet him across the board (and keyed my top choice Bordonaro in multi's & exotics), and he paid $50 to place and $32.80 to show. How would I have felt if I just bet him to win, even though that wasn't really my opinion?
However, what I think you are getting at, would betting Zenyatta or Goldikova win PLUS place this year be a poor wager? Of course.
