You can cite whatever race you want, and I'll find 4 that show that using a simple exacta with a favorite or a wheel for that matter is dumb.

And I will see far less 15/1 with 9/1 exactas, than I'll see 1/1 (or 2/1) with 18/1 exactas.
No, I do see. And I'm talking over time. And the person that taught me this has been betting on horses for over 45 years, and I figure he knows far more.
