Thanks you guys.
Ray, Since you are not comfortable with betting more than 20.00 in a race I would suggest that you follow Docs guidelines and bet 60-40 on two horses.
This is what I do if both of my top 2 horses are at acceptable odds with one minute to post. If your top horse is too low of odds, say 6/5 then you have to decide if you want play your 2nd , third or 4th horses if their odds are high enough to make the risk worthwhile.
Personally when my #1 horse is to low of odds I pass the race.
For me this is the best way to go as my top horse hits at 40% rate.
I usually only get 3 or 4 possible plays at any one track each day.

I have very strict guidelines that I follow to find a playable race.
1) Only non maiden races with a minimum of 8 betting interests.
2) only races from 5.5f to 8.5f.
3) if two or more of my final 5 horses have not run at todays distance ( sprint or route) then I up my minimum odds OR pass the race.

Ray, I am like you. Most of my bets are win & place only.
I only play in the exotic when the odds on my top two are above 4/1 and my 3rd, 4th or 5th horse or horses are at least 10/1.
This way you have a good chance to make a nice score.

Good luck.
