Of course, the generous mutuel makes it easier to ignore the favourite in this example. I have difficulty sometimes when the odds are less generous and the top ranked horse is so dominant: pass, let it beat you, or lose more races but collect more $ in the long run?

Congrats!

Thanks Ted,

I agree, and in this case the #1 BLBL was 1/1 and the #3 BLBL 2/1. The 16/1 odds for the #2 BLBL was simply too good to pass up with the reasonably decent corollaries.
