I was too late and missed it.

Brian, here's something you might want to think about. If you're confident that your horse can run a place at fair odds, you could perhaps think about an 'any2' bet with your horse as banker from the field. Then if your horse does run a place and a roughie comes home in the placings, it can be quite nice. It would have cost just $4.50 (50c unit) to do that in R1 and you would have got back $115.70. Of course, there are plenty of races where favs run 1-2-3 too, but if you're confident of your horse running a place, it's certainly an idea worth looking at.
