how does this work? Is it Brown and Pyro must run 1,2?
Is "The Field" all the others or all the others not on derby futures?

thanks

I'm pretty sure it's if either Big Brown or Pyro wins, because 3/2 on a Big Brown/Pyro exacta box doesn't exactly sound like a bet people would be flocking to make.

Ateam is correct. In the first matchup, if either Big Brown or Pyro wins, then the side betting "Big Brown and Pyro" would win the bet. If any other horse wins, then the side betting "Field" would win the bet.
