For myself my strongest moment in the game so far was being lucky enough to key the Preakness last year as a play against the derby winner. By keying Bernadini/Saint against the field 200 dollar exacta and 75 dollar tri literally paid well into 6 figures on a) very solid horses b) betting against a favorite out of the money 3) playing a triple crown race where the handle is 8 figures
You dont have to win it all to win an incredible amount of money if your right. The winner only paid $28 but the exacta paid $171 and the Tri paid almost 4 thousand for 2. Sometimes volume works heavily in your favor.

So what exactly was your rationale for tossing Barbaro?
