You have to have a fairly good hit rate to survive on 3/2 shots (net, i.e. bet 2 horses with lower odds at 3-1). Of course in this event, we were hoping for the 18-1. The 3-1 winner was close to a breakeven 'hedge' (with a little something left over for tomorrow). I would probably not bet both a 3-1 and even 4-1 top ranked. Perhaps in some kind of exacta, or trifecta - certainly in a horizontal (DD, P3, P4).

Good luck today Patrick! (I'm gone after this.)
