This is hard to say,because you're not saying what bet? Do I think any horse is worth putting hundreds or thousands on to win?(at 6/5 or less)..No,but I try to only bet multi-race stuff,and so it's a matter of getting through a race,and less a matter of win odds.It comes down to using the horse with the most ability(not necessarily the best value in the win pool.)This is the nice thing about the multi-race bets(you don't drive yourself nuts trying to get the extra buck or 2 in value...you just play the animals that you like.)

Hey, I'm totally with you there I like the multi race stuff also. I just think you always have to look at value, and TMB at such a short price is no value, considering the makeup of the race.

I had Jazil singled.That was my value.After that,I just needed to get through races.He(Bling) was a poor win bet(if that's what your asking,but I wouldn't think there are very many good win bets at 6/5 or less.)

Nice pick on Jazil, he was great value. I'm with you, there aren't many good win bets at those odds.
