wac,

Hockey has the right answer. You liked 'KSS', and wanted to play him in exotics. You do need however to approach the race with the opinion that there were 2-3 horses that could win and that you needed to tie to him.

The top 5 public choices:

Z Fortune 3-4
Sierra Sunset 9-2
Anak Nakal 7-1
Sacred Journey 10-1
Golden Yank 11-1

My own top 4 were:

Sierra Sunset
Z Fortune
Anak Nakal
King's Silver Son

Let's say you narrowed your 'other possible winners' down to 3.. Z Fortune, Sierra Sunset and Anak Nakal. You would structure a play keying KSS first and second, (or first/second/third), with those 3 and 'ALL' for the other slot..

W: KSS
P: ZF, SS, GY
S: ALL

W: ZF, SS, GY
P: KSS
S: ALL

W: ZF, SS, GY
P: ALL
S: KSS

1x3x7 = $21; 3x1x7 = $21; 3x7x1 = $21

This way when your opinion is correct about a 17-1 like King's Silver Son and an Isabull (27-1) finishes in the money as well, you're in position to cash the $550.00 trifecta ($1) for $63 (or as little as $42).
