I'm sure you are correct that if you bet them "all" they aren't profitable.
On the flip side a lot of people are so literal about speed figures they sometimes make bad plays against some of these horses.
There have been a LOT of instances where all the wise guys hated a horse I thought was better than the figures indicated. I sat on the sidelines because I thought the race was bet correctly. The wise guys ripped up their tickets when the favorite beat them and ran a new top that was very predictable.
I may make a play in that race, but I'm not salivating to key against Princess Noor. The gap is just so huge I can take a stab.
