Spotted this thread a few days ago but hadn't had time to post 'till now. I've been capitalising on these for months mainly doing exactas incorporated with my ratings [Jims']. The trick in the sprints where there are multiple runners seems to be to leave the shorty or 2. Time & again there'll be 1 or 2 well backed & 2 of the longer ones run the quin for big returns. One at the G Coast sat comes to mind. Trainers know they'll get big odds 1st up if the horse was out of form prior to its' spell so target these races. I recently got a good exacta at B/go with Prince of Rhythm & one of Laings'. They were the only 2 in the race which was 1600m. There seem to be quite a few more of these 'distance' ones these days. Last Mon at Warrnambool I noticed at least 2 races won or quin. over 1400m + but unfortunately had a badly disrupted arvo!! I actually thought I was the only one taking these types of bets as they pay so well!! Sometimes I'll take the standout fav with the longer 1st ups & they still pay well.
