I had a look at +/- 80,000 horses at $100+. The WSR is between 0.27% and 0.25% the latter figure being for Saturday Metro. You'll need both fingers and toes to calculate the required 'break-even' odds.

That tends to pull me towards happenstance rather than selectiveness. A very happy coincidence but nothing more. A bit like "lightning never strikes the same place twice" and then you meet a man who's been struck three times.

A treat for lucky win bettors.

A nightmare for unlucky long-price laymen :-)
