Also is there a difference between your classification of Exotics Use and Super Add?

Hoefully I'll see you later today. Heading up to Saratoga for the weekend!

The order of selection amounts to the 1-2-3-4 preference... A 12-1 'Best Value' isn't the most likely winner in the truest sense. I'm suggesting in those cases that at the likely tote, a Best Value type is a better bet than the lower priced favorite(s).

Conversely, there are times were the top 2 ML favorites or first and third choices, etc., are simply better horses than the best value player available... Hence, a Most Likely, Next Best, Best Value order...

The moniker of Exotics or Super (4th horse) is strictly determined by whether or not a Super is available in the race. A 10 horse field with entries where a Super isn't available frequently demands a Most Likely and/or Best Value be played with at least 2-3 others for exactas/tris/supers.

See you over there!
