I need to clarify some things. I tracked the races. I want to get used to the software before investing money. The contenders came from my paceline selection. I did not hide any of the horses in the breakdown, just saying that was my plan in the future. Almost all of the tier 1 horses that won would have been hidden-a lot of $4 and $5 horses yesterday. Hopefully, I can get the same results hiding horses under 5-2. In a nutshell, I was just looking for some feedback to see if I was selecting the proper pacelines based on my breakdown (because I was using this for the first time and want to be on the right track); and to see if the strategy I mentioned was a "good" one for future use. Sorry for the confusion.
One question I have is, should I move my 6th contender to the 5th tier when hiding a horse, or just leave it? Everything I've read from the Followups says to make most of your selections from the top 3 tiers, betting the 4th or 5th only if they are high odds and show "something" in the collaries.
