i would say don't worry about it, for what it's worth. you didn't cost ANYONE any money -- you're doing us all a huge service by giving your picks here.
nobody is obligated to play them, and if they aren't comfortable going short in races with small fields, then they would have gone deeper.
as good as you've been, any handicapper who structures a bet around what someone else thinks exactly is missing the whole point of the game. therefore, it's their own fault for not going deeper in a short race -- not yours for making a decision to not go deep in any leg.
i appreciate what you put out there...it's just like public handicapping -- putting yourself out there is a big deal. it's everyone else's choice as to how to assess your picks
