You're spot on I reckon, EI.
Most group races yield lousey value on the first line of betting, except for one - The Melbourne Cup - because of the amount of once-a-year punter's money on the outsiders.
A simple system I've used to reduce the field from 24 to 9 or less, is to take the first 3 placegetters in the MV Cup, Caulfield Cup and Mackinnon Stakes.
This was an old "Racetrack" system and has produced the winner in all of of about 2 of the last 40 years, I think (I don't have the actual stats).
