I wonder if Heather at Mr. McGills counts?

Favorite for fun is boxing 4 horses in a 10c super.

Favorite for a serious wager is exactas played various ways.

What do they pay when they are hit? I mean, 9 races is the pinnacle, but the fact that the horse "only" has to place or win -- does that cut the payoff down a lot?

I used to just play in-race exotics, but now I'm hooked on rolling pick 3's through the card. I do that instead of trifectas, and I don't even attempt supers.

Pick-3 and Pick-4 definitely. Occasional Exacta wagers as well.

I'm fairly terrible at everything else.

I like playing the .50 pick fours. Why not .50 pick fours at NYRA tracks. Most major circuits( churchill downs, keeneland, fairgrounds, gulfstream, etc) offer this wager

I really like Part Wheel Trifectas. I got into them after reading Steven Crist's book "Exotic Betting". It also told me I can't afford to play the Pick Six. I play vertical, rather than horizontal and target mid level "Claiming and Allowance races" where there are a number of "B" horses offering value.

Pick threes and pick fours.

Have done pretty well with grand slam bets. Anyone else play them?

What is a grand slam bet anyway? Heard of it but never knew what it was.

Philly Park's system doesn't seem to allow Super High 5, Grand Slam, or any Pick-6's that are less than $2 (like at Beulah).
