Is anyone else "sick and tired" of backing horses that race back in the field, especially at shortish odds, and continually run into trouble?

I am changing my punting to only support horses that lead or race handy to the pace. I think long term this is a "smart" approach. Just look at Gai Waterhouse's horses they are always fit and race on the pace or handy and Gai is having great success and you are always in with a chance.

Any thoughts?
