While impressive, you simply cannot play 3 in every race and come out ahead for very long. While the #1 pick did well yesterday, how did it do longer term.? You have to have a way to filter even the top pick, and bet it only when it meets other factors.
I tried just betting (all )the #1 picks last year at several tracks and it was not profitable after usually a couple of days or weeks. I still only bet the #1 pick but apply a little handicapping and usually wind up with only 2 or 3 per card worth a bet. This way it has been profitable.
