Very nice suggestions regarding Arlington Park Sunday. I only hit the “Win” bet because I used the two long shot horses you suggested in exotic bets. Started to use the number one horse in my exotics too but decided against it and and went for the boxcar payoff. Even so, I really like it when you suggest we use our own ideas and use price as a guide. With a little luck this could have been a huge payday. Looking at the “split times “ in Bris PP’s it appeared the
“one” horse may have had a NPT also, did he? How did you end up betting this race? Did you hit any exotics? Just curious since “bet structure” is the part of wagering that I enjoy the most but may be a little weaker at. It gets a little hectic as the odds change near post time. Thanks again.
