Sportz,
No mate, still wouldn't back it just coz it's the longest. I reckon only 43% of your money comes back betting on the longest priced horse usually but it improves to 56% now that one has already won. If, as Marcus suggests, the same thing holds true of long prices generally (as opposed to the LONGEST) maybe just the longer priced horses in general might be a good bet now.

Marcus,
Interesting stuff. I just tried the extreme end of the scale which didn't actually show any way to make a profit, maybe there is more future in just "longish" priced horses.

Moeee,
Thanks for the offer of the 10 grand but I just did it for the love of the sport and to try and enrich the life of my fellow man. My family appreciated your prayers, little Jacob with the mangled legs has suddenly started walking again so I think they worked.
