I like your idea on the star system but I have a bias for lower priced horses than most----and thats why a nice bet that Barb made yesterday also desrves credit. It wasnt a $20 horse but I bet Barb would tell you it still felt pretty good and moved her right up the ladder in the contest---we all want good prices but I beleive there's a place for a good solid $40/$60 bet on a lower priced horse----at the end of the day the bottom line is that you have to win races---- low odds or high odds. Winning keeps you grounded mentally----- keeps your confidence up----keeps you more logical and simply keeps you fired up to move forward with confidence regarding the program.
I dream of $18. horses but I have to tell you that I also feel good about putting a $100. on a 5-2 horse and it wins. Yes, I understand VALUE and I also understand what I does to my mindset to go 6 or eight races chasing for one.
It's personal for all of us but bunts and singles keep me in a better place mentally with the occasional $10---$18 horse every once in a while for a bonus. VALUE AND FAVORITES MEAN ABSOLUTELY NOTHING UNLESS YOU WINNNNNNNNN and then that takes care of everything.

So Bill I think there is a place( star) for what I consider a GREAT bet like Barb made and I'd also suggest a purple heart(lol) to anyone in our little club that has the courage to make a single $100. WIN bet on any horse that shows the biggest return---Call it the Conviction Award!!!!! If one is serious about winning the contest it takes a bit of guts to do because if it misses you pay the price not covering youself with a cover bet for place.

We all find our comfort spots and how we can personally keep in the game financially------finally I want to mention I've lost the last 5 races Ive bet to win with real money on lower priced horses----- last night at MTN. I made a $20 win bet I think the 8th race and it paid $20---so go figure!!!!!!!
Got me mixed up like a hounds breakfast.
