Q. If you choose a horse in your first three that does not finish in the top three, is that an X?

A. Yes.

Q.And if you have an exacta as Ruffian did in race 6 where she had the place horse in the second slot and the win horse in the third slot, would that be a BC

A. If she picked 1-2-3, #1 would be her A, #2 would be her B and #3 would be her C. If it came in 3-2-6, she would be scored on a CBX.

Q. since her top pick did not finish in the top 3 would that then make it XBC? I know it wouldn't, as there is no XBC, but seems like it would make more sense, if there was.

A. If she picked 1-2-3 and it came in 6-2-3, then her result would be XBC

Cal, I've tried to respond to your questions and make that which is not clear a little clearer. What is confusing is that a player can be awarded points for things that do not pay off as successful wagers - i.e. you haven't picked the winner but still get points for having picked two out out the three in the money finishers or even one out of three.

Don't know whether I've helped or made it more confusing. Hope it has helped.
