Here's a good follow up question. If one of them complete the exacta, does it pay over $150? I'll venture a guess that the QR/IWR exacta box is in the $60 neighborhood and anything involving the 5th choice or higher underneath is $150 or better.

with a horse like Quality Road, it's almost better to use a couple of scenarios.

like A) - QR breaks well and settles into a perfect trip

or B) - he doesn't

IWR , FF, and Maybe Dunkirk are less affected by the trip IMO
