an alternative would be to be bet much bigger on those races where you have high confidence - maybe 10 times as much as on the other races

A simillar but more specific thing than having confidence is to
quantify your opinion using an oddsline. Then you can compare
your opinion to the toteboard. If you have a perceived edge then
you can bet whatever the proper portion is relative to the odds you're
getting paid.
Arbitrarily betting 10 times more could have you either under
betting or over betting. Under betting isn't so bad but over
betting is a disaster.
