Thanks.

Eric, that's not the point. It is an analysis of how ONE would have done had they bet THAT SPECIFIC LONGSHOT in one or the other manner. The ones that don't finish second can't be used in an analysis because you lost your $2 whether you bet place or and exacta. It's the only way you can do the study.

I would like to see a sample of 500 and will grab the charts weekly at DRF to get a larger sample size. It's too cumbersome running through charts on Formulator.
