The exacta reflected truer odds of the horses in the race in that the exacta pool was more accurate where most likely Cowtown Cat was closer to 6:5 or 7:5 and thus everyone else was lower.

Thanks, that was my guess. With that math, If you make Cowtown 6/5, Moyer's is 5-1ish and Delightful Kiss is 16-1ish and the exacta is correct.
