Michael,

I'm not sure of the logic of your 'outsiders' picks.

Why is it that you choose only one in the races you are going to operate on? For instance in yesterday's Canberra Race 6 you chose one horse (14) whereas there were horses 3, 9, 13, and 15 all over 30 to 1 too (and none of them got even a place).

I realise that this means you have 5 horses against you instead of 1 (if you lay them all); but they were all as unlikely to salute as the one you chose (given the prices). After all there were 15 horses in the race anyway!

In the other Canberra race (race 2) there were only 8 starters (so 6 to oppose your choice); and I can see the wisdom of not choosing more than the one in that case.
