This is pretty much how I have played for a long time. I will use a horse that I think has the best chance to win, regardless of odds and if that horse is short on odds I will also use the horse i like best with odds of at least 4-1 or better. That may be too short for some but there are times when I can beat the even money horse and the DD, pick-3 or pick-4 will pay very well because everyone singled the chalk. The 4-1 horse can also drift up in odds by post time because of the action on the favorite. When the top 2 favorites look best then it is a pass for me.
