In the example you used here the horse in 2/5, so I agree that a win bet is probably not a smart bet. However, I will say that I think some people are overly eager to rule out ever betting on an odds-on horse. Sometimes, you can actually find value in these horses.
If you see a horse that looks like a 1/5 shot to you, and the horse is 4/5 on the board, why not bet it to win?

Heck, in a short field in the right circumstances, i think bridgejumping is a good bet. In this example he gave a 2/5 likely winner in an 8-10 horse field. Unless you can find something underneath at a price, I would just skip the race.

When I am faced with this type of race, I hope it is part of the pick 4 or pick 3. That way I am faced with a pick 3 or a pick 2. You can always increase your wager to like a $10 pick 3 or a $4 pick 4. Or I like to see if an exacta will pay more than $10. If that is the case then I will put a $10 or $20 exacta down with the 2/5 horse on top of 2 horses and hope for the best. However, most of the time I skip this type of race.

I agree with the masses here. Either pass the race or single in a horizontal bet.

with 5 mins to post go get a beer and then sip it till they're in the gate. Go attempt to make the bet get shut out and then either count the $$$$ you saved or laugh at how little the exacta and tri paid.......
