The field-size angle is the part a lot of bettors miss: a starter bonus that turns a five-horse race into a nine-horse race helps the horseplayer as much as the owner, because the pools get deep enough to find real prices. Lure Him In's route from Del Mar to Laurel to Gulfstream is a good example of letting the condition book, not the map, set the schedule. Curious whether you've found any tracks where the bonus looks great on paper but the purse structure underneath makes it less of a free lunch than it seems?
Thanks for reading and posting this! And for acknowledging how we are approaching things. Perhaps a bit differently from the mainstream, largely by design. I’ll forward your question to Sam Wilensky and Victor Collazo, my partners. They are the experienced horsemen. I’m more of the “horse’s mouth” if you will. Better than a horses a__ I always say. Thanks again! RI

Appreciate that, Rob, and the "horse's mouth" line made me laugh. I'll keep an eye out for what Sam and Victor think. Thanks for writing it up.
