Here's one of my favorite 2W2P2S philosophies:

Handicap the race first and then decide the best way to shape your wager.

Your views should build your bets.

I defer to his eloquence.

Good news


Haha.

Racetracks load up the early part of the card with short fields and short-priced horses.

They like to save the deepest, most contentious races for second half of the card.

In California, the Pick 5 early takeout is 14% while the late Pick 4 takeout is 23.68%.

Big difference.

Belmont gets great horses on their big days, but mostly 5-6 horse fields. It’s tough to go against a big favorite and maybe see 8-5 on the second choice and 2-1 or 5-2 on the third. The later races fill a little better.
