Or ANY race. If you're using it to catch a longshot in a chaos race, then just play the longshots.

I was hoping to catch an Evening Attire or Angliana double with Casino Drive. The Brooklyn was a good race to use it in because it was a small field with a couple live longshots. It also made sense because I thought there would be very little money bet into doubles with a horse that might scratch. Looks like a $64 double works out to exactly what he will pay at the window. Around 8-1 or maybe 10-1.

No. Wastes are only if they lose. Right now the return on investment is around 9-1 if he wins and it allows me to just play a straight BB-CD exacta without having to box it. If CD runs first or second and BB wins, I am looking at a nice profit.

You don't get it and won't. Not a surprise, but I'm not in the mood to explain it to you.

You couldn't explain it because you have no idea what you are talking about.

If CD runs first and BB wins, this is going to be the most famous Belmont in history.

If CD wins I win the double, doesn't matter where BB runs. If BB wins and CD runs second I win the exacta. So I need CD to run first or second and BB to run first if CD runs second. This isn't rocket science.

Yes, I got it. I was joking about the possibility of a dead heat.
