In the case of the 2&7, I could see hedging with some $50 win bets on each, given the payouts and the fact they're firsters which could anything could happen. The 9, prob could stand against since he didn't include him the first time around at 9/2 so obviously he didn't like him. I know any time I'm in a situation where I've got coverage in the final leg and in position to make a big score like Root was here I'm happy to throw a little at the ridiculous horses I don't have covered so I don't go apesh1t if they run the race of their life to beat me. Has to be for >$2-3k minimum payoff though.
