Jimbo-- Don't disagree, an awful lot of horses that we didn't like or thought were underlays (like RHT) have bit us. I used RHT only if Congrats and Truly A Judge were both there in the triple, RHT beat me out of a win bet on Congrats as well.
Good thing we didn't have a streak like this when I was doing Post Time. It was tough to get up there after even 2 bad weeks in a row.
Of course, we were doing about 3 races a week, which spread things out a little bit.
By the way, the way you played it, with 2 of 3 longshots having to run in the top 3, I would have used RHT, for the same reason I used him in tris with my two longshots. The payoff is too big even with a favorite in to risk it. Of course, it depends on what else you are doing in the race and how much you are putting into it. But you sound like you send it in pretty good.
