Big Brown and Casino Drive are a lock to run 1-2 with a 15-20% shot CD beats BB.

Excuse my lack of knowledge on Exactas. If I were to bet part of my money on Big Brown and Casino Drive in a box? OK but what do I say word for word to the person at the ticket window so I don't look like an idiot. I don't mind looking like an idiot here since no one can see me

Have you thought about taking the $300.00 and putting it in a Pick-6 ticket ?

Go up to the Teller, say Belmont Race 11, $100 exacta box (or however much you want to make it), then say 1-5 and they will place it.

If you do a $100 exacta box it will cost $200. When you box two horses for a certain amount of money you double that to get your final cost. hope this helps a little.

Big Brown is now a certain 1-9 even if Casino Drive runs. Save your money.
