I let the race determine my betting strategy.
If I like one horse at 2-1or my top two horses are 7-2 or less I don't bet to win, but may use in pick 3's and 4's.
If the horse I like is 5-2 or greater I bet to win and double to place.
If I like 2 horses I will bet equal to win on each or 60% on top choice and 40% on second choice. I may or may not play an exacta with them.
If I like 3 to win up to about half the field, I may use in multi race wagers. If more than half the field I would use all if I play multi race wagers.
If the field is 8 or more and I have a handle on the race I may play tris or supers.
Let your handicapping, field size, odds, and your bank roll determine your bets.
My betting strategy on some cards is to pass all the races.
