If he's your pick and he's 20-1, then I would go heavy on the win bet and maybe protect and use him underneath in exactas. Tri's and Supers get to be such a crapshoot.

You could go ALL-ALL-Alpha in a 50c P3 and hope for some prices

It really depends on your bankroll for the race.

Key alpha in an exacta with the other five horses you like. $10 per ticket.

Also could key alpha in all three slots with the other five horses for $10 per ticket.

Have enough to make sizable wp bet. $20wp

To me this is the better value for your $90

Think that's the wrong Daddy to use...

More so, anyway you look at it the tri will be juicier than the exacta. This race plays very true to payout expectations underneath, so if you really REALLY like Alpha - go Alpha / ________whomever/ ALL and don't let yourself get crushed by leaving out the wrong bomb. If a fave comes in, it's still going to pay great underneath with Alpha on top.
