Kelly Edge Plays
Kelly Edge Plays   (longshots clearing the 10% publishing edge — calibrator: multidim)    Morning-line reliability: +0.38 (ML-rank vs finish; ~0.38 typical — higher = oddsmaker sorts the field better; edges below are scaled by it)
RaceHorseMLP(win)Edge¼ KellyBet on $ bankroll
25 – Sexy Blue20/121.4%+348.6%4.36%$4.36
46 – The Key Is Unity20/121.4%+348.6%4.36%$4.36
37 – Hard Hearted20/16.9%+44.1%0.55%$0.55
TOTAL across 3 plays:9.3%$9.27
Edge = P(win) × decimal odds − 1. Only longshots clearing a 10% edge are shown (the same bar used to flag a longshot pick). Each ¼ Kelly stake is capped at 5% of bankroll, and the whole column is scaled so the TOTAL never exceeds your bankroll (simultaneous quarter-Kelly bets otherwise sum to more than 100%). Pick your bankroll from the dropdown and every suggested bet — and the total — updates accordingly.
