Odds should affect only whether I bet the race or not, not who I think will win it.
And it sucks having no time to handicap the G1 contest on the other board... I'm getting smacked upside and down over there... ah well, life intervenes sometimes.

i do the same thing, go over the pps and make my choices...and then the tote board tells me if i play or not. or what to play. i also consider how often the fave wins (around 30%) and base some daily doubles and pick threes on which faves absolutely will win. hit the early daily at oaklawn last time i went because the first race had a huge fave that would NOT lose, and then an obvious (to me) winner in the second.
funny the things you find tho, that others don't. had a horse further down in the card who had the fastest time at the distance to be run out of the entire field. had been ignored and was 12-1. put him in the exacta with arch hall, first or second in his other races. AH ran second to my 'find', SWEET.
