crash,
I had some similar bets to you guys today - but bear in mind the big punters were all over Stickpin like a cheap suit, so I reckon a lot of them had Stickpin standout with a few to fill 2nd and 3rd x volumes of units. This strategy really impacts the divvies to real underlays no matter what runs 2nd or 3rd save a bolter for 2nd. As it was Mr Baritone was also my other bet in the race, so I'm sure it didn't escape the trifecta ticket.
The Poet's voice race had Biscayne Bay run second (due to an errant seagull), so in short, when you have two highly fancied runners running first and second, there is little value to get out of boxing. To get any value, you need to stand them out as singles and put a few units on them.
It is frustrating though, when you get those sort of returns.
