This race plays very true to payout expectations underneath, so if you really REALLY like Alpha - go Alpha / ________whomever/ ALL and don't let yourself get crushed by leaving out the wrong bomb. If a fave comes in, it's still going to pay great underneath with Alpha on top.

If a favorite finishes 3rd it will still pay great but not as much as an $18 exacta would have paid. No matter who is on top the trifecta comparison to the exacta is always determined by the 3rd place finisher.
