The following book" Beat the Racetrack by William T. Ziemba (1984-11-03".
in their book they found that there were inefficiencies between the win place and show pools. So if you look at the total win pool of lets say horse 1 and the same for place and show. One may be do better betting the place and show. Better ROI (return on investment) and less risk.
If you like page after page of mathematical equations this is the book for you.
A side story...Radio Shack use to sell this little hand held half computer half calculater.
It took me llke 2 weeks trying to put all the formulas in.
Then my nephew and niece stopped by...picked up the comp/calc and stated whats this button. Before I could say or shout a word like stop. They pushed the button and there went two weeks of work. A nothing like having curious children around.
Anyways if you go to Twinspires they show the percentages of win/place/show pools on each horse (i think). You might be able to ball park it. Like i stated before the book is a bit much unless your like Dick then you would enjoy a read or two.
You might go to Chatgp also known as CoPilot and ask there free AI...there pretty good for answering questions. Might have what you need there.
Good luck handicapping.
