The last is probably the most important one...

Nothing personal BP,but if you have any confidence at all in what your doing point #3 would be IMHO very bad advice.

IN a situation where you didn't bet a horse you liked and he won. The horse's next start. If you didn't make the wedding. Why attend the funeral?

Yeah...but a funeral is advertised as a funeral ahead of time.
A horse's last race victory does not preclude it from winning right back.

No, but the point is....
there probably will be no price the second time around. Winners seldom go off at long odds. That is the domain of the clunkers who finish way back...way.. way.. back.

I still don't get it.
If the horse had price in his first win...and we liked the horse...then why should we have "missed the wedding"?
Or are we like those guys who only like the horse when they see cross the finish line first?
The player who chickens-out of betting on his choice when it has price doesn't deserve to win...now, or ever.

Your Father was a wise Man! Excellent advice.
The best advice I ever received from a mentor was,"Every race is NOT playable"!

Since 99% of players lose if you wager on the same or the obvious horses as the public selects on a regular basis, you can expect similar results.

Well, if you think the time of the race is the be all end all, then there is no way no how that you use speed figures!
Read Pittsburg Phil ....

OK. Let me simplify this then.
Say you are looking at some PP's...you notice a horse won and paid $30.00 Jan 15, 2014.
Why didn't you play the horse?
I don't have the capability to do space/time travel... and play that animal.
