Agree on a general basis- however in this instance there was $21k in the pick 4 pool which is more than enough to diversify the payoffs properly. Perhaps I was overestimating the qualitative value of beating Hooh Why plus getting the 15-1 shot in the Iowa Derby, but quantitatively it was quite short.
