I'm bored.
I looked at all of the available charts on Equibase, between Santa Anita, Gulfstream and Aqueduct. It only comprised eighteen race days total, but I went through them.
I used Randall's original idea, of 10-1+ shot running in the top two versus a 10-1+ shot running behind the favorite (any favorite, lukewarm or odds-on) in the race. With that, it presumes that regardless of how you played it, that 10-1+ horse was the one you liked.
The totals I got were:
Aqueduct:
Place Wagers: $139.20
Exacta: $222.40
Gulfstream:
Place Wagers: $292.40
Exacta: $440.80
Santa Anita:
Place Wagers: $335.20 (may I add, just ONE of the exactas was worth $302.80 for a deuce, almost entirely negating the other sixteen double-digit place horses all by itself)
Exacta:$593.00
Total for published race days on Equibase:
Place Wagers: $766.80
Exacta: $1,256.20
Not even close so far.
