Maybe so.
I really happen to think 5-1 was closer to break even on that play for Quality Road.
However:
Don't get me wrong, I think in hindsight the play would NOT have been to bet Quality Road to win, but to pass the race. If you had a vulnerable favorite in one of the other legs, you would include all three FOY contenders in those (double/pick3/pick4) tickets.
