I'm not sure if there is a good solution...

It can be overwhelming.
There's a bunch of races.
There's a bunch contenders in each race,
and if not a bunch of
true contenders,
there's a story, a narrative for each horse.
We all have our own balance of entertainment vs investment to begin with.
When you get All-Star races it's like a kid in a candy store.
Hopefully you have a couple of the stars who you have a controversial opinion of (and then still check Pace Projector! to make sure his trio of uncoupled stablemates don't set him loose on the lead!!).
a couple of controversial opinions. Maybe structure 1 multi into/around that 'stand'.
Rest of the time is for 10c supers, ,cold exactas, 50c pk 3s, etc... Horses you like and have a feeling about the supposed narrative, but haven't spent 80 hours w/ multiple resources .
You have 1 big opinion; If you're Lucky!
and the rest of the time you throw some darts at a board.
A good horseplayer, who occasionally posts on PA, told me "Robert(Jason), I skip the 'Big' days. My play is focused on my local circuit/system/routine. "
