I can see the "all" button producing a crazy horse in pick 3's for big money
$5.20 winner. I've learned that when it seems like an ALL button situation, you probably shouldn't press it because a short price will win.

Just don't play the race. Wait for a better opportunity.

I didn't play it. Have gotten better at picking my spots. The race just seemed very weird with none of the horses belonging in it. If you were to see the PP's and not know it was a turf race, 9 times out of 10 you would never pick the correct surface and distance

Story of GB & my summer at Arlington. You love a horse or two in another leg so you build the ticket around them and find an inscrutable race like that...press ALL to buy the damn thing, and you get a $5.60 winner.

Every. Single. Time.

I believe this summer's strategy will be spend less and lose gracefully rather than being humiliated by that.
