If your one horse win-rate is 50% (or less) than that of your two-horse win-rate, then betting two 3-1 shots to win will achieve the exact same results (or better) than those of betting one 3-1 shot to win.

I have to disagree with you here.
Betting 1 horse to win at 3-1 and winning gives you back $ 8.00 = $ 6.00 profit ( a true 3-1 return)
Bettinp 2 horses to win at 3-1 and winning gives you gives you back $ 8.00 = $4.00 profit ( Thats an even money bet and a diminished return).
Thats quite a big difference.
For those that have to bet 2 horses I wish you lots of luck because in the long term you will need it.
Betting 2 races with 2 picks as opposed to betting 2 races with 4 picks would be throwing away 2 bets and can never be compared or considered the same.
