IMO...our betting decisions can't be made by pre-conceived "formula thinking". We should be flexible, and treat each race individually with its particular risk/reward aspect always in mind.

Totally agreed.
In sequential wagering, though, there's just one problem... You don't know what the public is going to do when you are predicting races in advance. Every now and then you can predict it. But there are still times when you're left asking yourself, "What the **** just happened?!?!?!?"
There's nothing you can do about that. You can only try to get better at predicting it, especially at certain tracks.
