Grits..
Horses 1. & 2. are thought of by me as the 2 horses most likely to win WITH THEIR ANTICIPATED ODDS FIGURED IN..
Horses A. & B. are horses that:
1.) Need to be used in exotics because they provide value..
2.) Need to be covered in exotics because they very well may be the most possible winners BUT AT LOWER ODDS THAN I CARE TO TAKE ON THEM..
3.) Options as 'win' covers or P3/P4 includes..
Note that I bet exotics almost exclusively, exactas/tri's, P3's/P4's.. So my inclination is to find 3 or 4 horses that figure to run well with the horse I like best... I will then take that #1 or #2 choice and KEY them with the others...
A $1 tri key (my #1 over #2, #A, #B and Longshot Alert horse? $12.. 1x4x3).. If I key the #1 in the second spot, it's another $12.. So I have perhaps a 6-1 shot keyed with 4 horses for $24.. If the favorite is third or out of the money, it pays $300, $400, $600..whatever...
Have to leave for the studio, but will check back to explain/discuss more later...
Note the trifecta/superfecta results in the 8th race yesterday at Gulfstream and the 5 horses used on the late P3 ticket and you'll get a quick understanding of what I try to do with my selections...
