Phil, I've seen that bet pay
less than the parlay when a couple of improbable longshots win.
There was nothing even remotely special about that Santa Anita p5 I posted. The point was that it transformed a sequence of mostly terrible non-competitive betting races with small fields and hopeless toss-outs into an advantageous situation.
The Gulfstream p6 is generally made up of several attractive betting races with large fields, often wide-open races.
The more sensible thing to do is to target the race or two in the sequence where you most have an edge.
