Yea CD
Back when there was just W,P,Q,T & Doubles betting, it was pretty much the best way to bet for big punters to make decent money as it was the only form of multie betting over more then 1 race. If they liked something in the 2nd leg they would back a few runners in the first leg all into their 'special'. My best mate was the bagboy for the biggest family name in bookies to grace our tracks ( related to get the job ) According to him this was a massive indicator, and well known in the ring as to a most favoured selection of the bigger punters. THese days of course doubles pools are a nothing..... but many years ago they were very very big pools to bet into where value could easily be found for big punters whose money was in with mums & dads Saturday punters. Those days everyone took a Daily Double or an Extra Double. It was a bit like The Melbourne Cup and the mass amounts of value to be gained on any of the multiple pools. (Of course not in the $m's)
I thought that too was your angle. You seem to be going ok with yours anyway, sounds very interesting what your up to.
