ill make a multi attack... most likely.. for what i see large..... then the bomb wide ..small its like this ..

maiden spec wt,, lots of firsters and good win early breeding..then you see the t pleach that is a second starter with great works ect..so all that looking for the upset,,and the winner is the pleacher he is now 4-1...so ill try to beat him on one tick.. but ill use him in my larger less wide tix..

hes the man with the plan and im sure would call me out on some points..but thats how i do it

Obviously, everyone has a diffrent angle on how they wager. If everyone bet the same way it wouldn't be parimutual. I just try to assimilate as much information as possible and find ways to use that in my assessment of horses and wagers to maximize my return.

"you can beat a race but you can't beat the races."

I am an ok handicapper and a terrible bettor.

I can get 2 out of 3 on just about every bet there is. I get beat by 1 horse 99% of the time. The last time I was a winner was the Breeder's Cup.

The biggest bet I've made on a horse race was a $300 exacta. Didn't box it and should have.

After a few beats like that I quit loading up and just throw it around like chicken feed and hope the longest part gets there just so I can play the whole day and make it out of the OTB with my life.

I know there are people that only talk about winning and don't say anything about losing.

The most successful bettors I know fall in two categories. The everything on one horse bettor. Win or lose they are in and out the door on 1 play. The other kind are the pick 3, pick 4 and the playable pick 6 bettors. It takes a big bankroll but when they hit, it's tax form city.
I play exactas, trifectas, Superfectas and only bet WPS on horses that are 20-1 or better. I've had to sign a tax form on every wager except the pick 4 and pick 6... Mainly because I've never hit one.

Guess I should play Hooves picks
too late
