Yeah.

Master Cip (1.55-to-1) over The Kenosha Kid (3.65-to-1) was paying $31.40

The Winner (1.30-to-1) over The Kenosha Kid (3.65-to-1) paid $8.20


Even when a first-time starter, import, or 2nd-time starter in this instance, takes a ton of steam in the win pool ... they normally take a reasonable enough share of it in exactas as well.

9/1 odds on Master Cip and The Kenosha Kid in the quinella. Even money on The Winner in Kenosha Kid in the quinella.

That's as inefficiently bet of a race as I can recall at a major track. A great example as to why you should always check the will-pays.
