One thing I see is that since you can pick and post 1 race at a time, up to 1 minute before Official Off Time, you can watch the odds and possibly choose between, say, your Top 3, that 1 horse which is 'optimal' odds, for which you'll get Win and Place mutuel earnings.
I rarely bet only 1 horse, so perhaps preparing to bet 3 races per day and often going with your 2nd or 3rd best horse (depending on bet-time odds) will gradually accumulate sufficient mutuels to to make it worthwhile to bet rather more races than fewer races (i.e. 60-90 races total, rather than just the minimum).
Like Chris, I see making every bet count. It could be tough though, in that sometimes the 1 horse to pick is a horse you're pretty sure will not Win, but rather is a perfect counter-energy horse, and either overlooked at long odds or elevated due to extreme favouritism of another horse (and a horse you would naturally include in an exacta bet if that bet type were permitted in this contest).
