No problem Ted.
To design a bet for a race one must put the race in context. We get blinded by contenders and forget about the race as a whole. How tough is this race? How many unknown factors?
Is the best horse legit or a false favorite? Avoid small paying EX & DD. learn how to judge form, separators etc. Is this horse improving or declining.

For the Derby this is how I bet it. I made bigger bets on later races , money
management is very important.

COMPLETED:9d60f-f1355 CD#11 $6 Double 4, 6, 7, WT, 4, 11, 15, 16, 19 none $90.00 $568.98+ $478.98

COMPLETED:5d0a1-8916a CD #12 $4 Double 10, 11, 14, 15, 16, 19, WT, 3, 8, 10, 11 none $96.00 $286.44 + $190.4
Players on here will tell you my favorite id the DD. It easier to pick winners then place horses etc. & anything can get up for show.
I normally key a horse in my DD a & only go w/ 3 contenders. But the difficulty of the Derby I used more & what I thought were all legit contenders.
I still alive for a P3 w/ race 14
