I am usually the same actually Topsy will not back a favourite unless it is a horse which I have followed for awhile and I really think it is ready to win that day and even then I will not go below $3 most of the time I look for E/W value in a field and I was finding it this week just managed to talk myself out of alot of them but hey that is is the way it goes isn't it it wouldn't be called gambling otherwise then would it.
