Using $19 for Oxbow's $1 exacta pay, $50 for TT5, and $15 for the rest of the field, Orb was at 1.1 to 1 win odds in the exacta pool. If I use $13 instead of $15 for all the other horses (besides Oxbow and TT5), I get Orb at 0.9 to 1 win odds from the exacta pool. So pretty close to even money, if PCL's memory is accurate. Substantially higher than Orb's win pool odds.
