I don't know how many people would be willing to cross check selections with the results charts to work out which of the selections would have been wagers, and which would have been passed as having unacceptably low odds. Even though the final odds are not the same as the odds that existed at the time the wagers would have to have been made, as you said before, you use enough of a "fudge factor" to compensate for that deficiency.
Your approach looks really interesting, and it would be great if you could include a running tally of how the selections you post are doing.

If you're really interested in what the payouts are, I always post the screenshots of each race, along with the payouts, on my forum.
