Sorry it took awhile to answer you this evening and furthermore this is probably the place where I lose whatever rspect you have for my limited knowlege and ability here.

When I am doing a race there is a portion of the selections that is nothing more than pure math and stats that has nothing to do with the horse.

I used the 3 rather than 6 or 7 because a computer program I use that puts a value for the sheet number/workout numbers/PP wins for the meet/surface/route and sprint filters. The 3 had a better total number than the next selection the 7. I was trying to keep the ticket at $200 or so and thats where I drew the line unfortunately

The program has been good to me the last year. It gave me Bernadini/Sweet exacta last May to name just one other.....

It didn't work out here but it had 5 winners the last two days at SA so it does have some usefulness here.

Like everyone else we are looking for the formula each and every day. Is it 3 or 4 parts horse, 1 or 2 parts pedigree,2 parts trainer and 1 part jock today or something different.

So after putting 5 hours off and on into the card last night and finally geting it to taste just right tonight it's time to turn the page and look at tomorrow....night scuds.
