wow... nicely done

you had winner and place in your top 5 in every race

i ignored the 4th race since it only had 5 horses, saw that you already ignored the 5th

am guessing this was on paper, since you showed a win on 10th race and i am not seeing it - could be senior moment on my part, but i show the 7, your 5th pick, placed

looking at the wheel part i noticed you have a lot of low priced favorites in your top 2 to wheel with

what would happen if you saw the favorite at low odds, like under 2-1 in your top 2 choices, and then instead of wheeling your top 2 choices, you replaced the low priced favorite and with your 3rd choice?

howard used to tell people to hide their too low to bet odds favorite from the win bet or pass - but keep them in the exotics

without seeing your records, not sure what it would do

on this particular day though, your wheels would have picked up the 7th - which considering you had the winner or place in your top 2 already in 5 of the races, is not that much

of the 5 low odds favorites you had in your top 2, none won or placed on this day - if both your top 2 choices are under 2-1, that might be a pass race, it would be for me

using howard's idea of dropping win bets too low to profit from, i wonder what long term numbers would show on this wheeling idea

this is a really interesting post - thank you, gives us all stuff to think about
