I cashed 6 of the first 9 exactas on the card and was still down about $30 because I couldn't hit a tri.
Did the same thing I always do in the Derby - I bet scared. I always play way too many tri's and bet horses that I'm scared to leave out instead of focusing on the ones I think have the best shot. No way I'm going to let Edgar, Dominguez, or Desormeaux beat me out of a tri since they are/were MD jocks. And because I played their horses, even though I didn't think they had a shot, it cut into the profits that Mario running second brought me.
