These are the best two days to cast your nets wider than usual and hope to catch the big one.

Really wide as you can get your share of 5 to 10 K Pick 3's.
I usually have a very wide ticket and a $5 concentrated ticket and have no problems spending 200 per Pick 3. You can get some 5-10 K Pick 3's come Breeders cup day and some 800+ doubles too. |

Wagering strategy should always depend on how you view the race and series of races in a sequence as a whole.
Having a generic approach before you have opinions and theories on a race is never a good idea. I'm never a big fan of excessive spreading. |

I agree. Excessive spreading means you should pass on the bet. Try a quick pick instead.

A dollar here, a dollar there, you may get lucky. In addition to your handicapping.

Couldn't disagree with you more. Its not a Monday at Parx. You have huge fields, many horses that can win, massive pools and you get massive payouts. You spread and catch the 40-1 horse that blows up the Pick 3 to 10K.

People who bet their top selection to win? If you like a horse, who cares how high the odds are?

Don't have much of a bankroll, so probably will just be playing the last 4 races on Saturday unless, of course, I succumb to temptation which is fairly likely. This was my plan last year and it quickly went to hell in a handbag.
