So what's wrong with that? Is that $12.60 for $2?

Play a $20 exacta and you have $126.00. If there's a 5 horse field, and the second choice isn't a clear lock, then I don't see why this isn't a poor bet.

A few races back if you could eliminate Just Jenda and eliminate another filly whose name escapes me....then Afleet Deceit looked logical for second.
