Mind you, I didn't place a single bet yesterday

Let's try this discussion from another angle.
Suppose the selections were Echo Again, With the Moonlight, and Nest. Certainly, those were the three easy choices in the three races you raised. The total win collection would have been $5.90 for the $6.00 wagered.
Instead, consider these picks. Bat Flip, Haughty, and Gerrymander. Here, you have $13.40 in winners against $6.00 wagered.
But this is a discussion about WIN TICKETS and SPOT PLAYS only.
So, let's now say you played the late Pick-4 or Pick-5. You could not have hit without Haughty which after all is the whole point here.
