Pick 3, 4 and 6 ticket structure

I agree with you Brian. Monday at The Big A I had the early pick 4. Foose was so much better than everyone in race two (first leg) that I had to single that horse. He ended up winning by a wide margin. With that single and a short field in race 3 allowed me to hit a $14.20 horse in race 3 (3nd leg). I spread 4 and 4 the last two legs and got a nice price. I, like you, try and find that single or find a race where the heavy heavy fav is beatable. When I find a bad fav I typically will go all in that leg (leaving out the heavy fav).

I love pick 3s!! If you play $30 pick 3s I suggest you not play one huge ticket. I play multiple tickets on the same three legs. I key my A and/or B horse in each ticket and then I have chance to add other horses in each ticket I have.

For $30 my tickets would look like this.

Ticket 1:

A,B,C - A,B - A,B

Ticket 2:
A,B,D - A,C - A

Ticket 3:
A,C - A,B - A,B,C

This is just an example. This way I have a chance to hit multiple tickets if it goes my way.
