I see the top 3 as:

Rachel Alexandra
Justwhistledixie
Flying Spur

Do you think this tri will pay anything?

Seems that this may be a just watch race - maybe do the oaks/derby double

The big money is made when the favorite runs out. Spend a little more with the mind set that you may take a loss on a winning ticket. If things break your way you may hit a windfall. A single of RA in the win spot on a Tri would be a huge waste.

I disagree. If you can beat the 2nd choice in the place and show spots you can make money with the trifecta. Should you bet RA - ALL - ALL? No, but if you use her with the right combination of price horses you can do well.

Yeah, as long as you're not wheeling a million combinations it can be profitable.

With 8 horses in the race I don't see any money in it if RA wins.
A 1x 4 x All only costs 24 bucks. A 1 x All x All is 42 bucks. If RA wins I don't see the payoff > 100 bucks regardless of who finishes second.
