Sale race 1: 12/8/13 Winner paid $2,80.
Race was a maiden though and short favorites regularly get up.

I really like the methods idea though, but I'd rule out maidens and betting against a less than $3 fav.
5 units across 3 bets against a short fav. might not be a good idea.

Races at Sale: 2 [12.80w], 4[11.70w] and 7[4,40w] would have been a nice collect for the day and I wish I'd used real money. I missed the results for the last, race 8.

Race 3 was another maiden so I left it out.
