Fair comment on the surface I guess. The truth of the matter is though you can never be sure of 1st and 2nd. It's just a case of personal preference but I feel I can do better with targetted betting, meaning taking no more than two horses in a quinella and three in a trifecta. Taking the field to me smacks of betting against yourself, watering down your bets on winning combinations and generally sticking a pin in the form guide. Each to his own though.
