Maybe just Exactas and Trifectas? Is that a better strategy? I hate the fact that CD is somewhat injured and makes it hard to factor him.

I'm only jumping in here because I'm also one to throw out normal (reasonable) betting strategies on a big race with alot of $$ action. I've posted before, that I just budget some fun $$ for some "lottery ticket" style bets that have a chance of hitting some big bucks. I save my serious playing for other days. I hit the OTB with my fun bet on race day, then come home to fire up the grill, crack some cold beer or wine, and enjoy the race festivities from the comfort of my patio or sports viewing room.
If I collect something great, and if not I've still been entertained with only budgeted damage done.
At this point, I'm inclined to wager what I think will now be $168 on the race.
I'm gonna pick two horses to go along with Big Brown, and then box the three of them in superfectas for $1.
That way there are still scenarios I can be happy as a bettor if Big Brown wins, and I still have some high scoring angles should he run somewhere in the Top 4.
Not an advised strategy of course, but it seems to fit my needs well for this one....
