Crash, I usually follow the logic of what you say and mostly agree with it but I have my doubts about your faith in this rule.
Cutting down your bets on a system by only betting on shorter and shorter priced horses seems to smack of an inherent distrust of the system itself. If the system is picking long priced horses that lose I would think there is something wrong with the selection method. Maybe it would be time to say, Ok I'll bet on favorites - but I'll eliminate the ones I think will lose thussly.
I'm sure you have good reasons to believe in this plan, no doubt based on more experience than I've had, I'd like to know what they are.
