Better to my way of thinking to save spreads for races where form is creating the competitiveness or where you want to include live longshot(s) with logical(s).
Fair enough Steve as far as the strategy goes, but if you don't mind what made you land on the 1?
I'm just trying to understand what other players might see sometimes that I might be missing with my own handicapping.
