Also, CJ is rarely a short price - he's typically in 5/1, 6/1. 8/1 - if you have been back-wheeling him in exactas - the ROI has to be insane.

When he ran this year - I picked him 2nd - and added a note for them to run underneath my picks saying basically 'in case of a scratch to my pick in Calculating Jimmy's race - please revise my selections and move my 3rd choice ahead of him'
B/c everyone continues to wheel a horse in second race after race at a track where a 1o dollar exacta would ruin the whole pool.
