If we felt Bernardini was a single, and we went 10 / 5 / 1 into him, then we're saying we like each of those horses the same, which of course is not true. We're investing the same on combinations we feel are less likely than combinations we feel are more likely. Crist's book opened my eyes to playing multirace wagers. Doing a one ticket catch call is a terrible move.

Tossing for the sake of tossing is risky. If you think the horse is a legit toss, which to me means the horse has no chance today based on my handicapping, or such little chance he/she is a drastic underlay, that's one thing. But to toss Bernardini just to catch a price, I don't think you're maximizing the potential. History says that one of three favorites typically comes in a p3 in the cup. Despite this fact, the payoffs are still high.

With the classic being the last leg of pk3sand4s Bernie deserves to be my single and hope I get some value in the other races. If Im alive to a single to bernnie, Ill try for some value with a ccouple or 3 other on top of tris.
