If you lose on the race, winning on the horse alone means nothing.
Better to put your money in the pokies
Put $100 into one machine and lose it.
The take another $50 and turn it into $100.
WOW - YOU WON $50.... GREAT. PITY YOU LOST THE INITIAL $100.

BETTING ON 3 HORSES IN A RACE IS FINE, IF YOU WIN, AS LONG AS ANYONE ONE OF THEM SALUTES - IF YOU CAN'T WIN BY DOING THIS - ITS NOT LOGICAL TO BET IN THE FIRST PLACE.
