I agree with you Brian. Monday at The Big A I had the early pick 4. Foose was so much better than everyone in race two (first leg) that I had to single that horse. He ended up winning by a wide margin. With that single and a short field in race 3 allowed me to hit a $14.20 horse in race 3 (3nd leg). I spread 4 and 4 the last two legs and got a nice price. I, like you, try and find that single or find a race where the heavy heavy fav is beatable. When I find a bad fav I typically will go all in that leg (leaving out the heavy fav).
