Theregoesjojo is the best SHOW bet if you're going to make one, IMO.

Leaning toward either Quality Road or Dunkirk, game time decision.....QR gets the class edge, DUN has a win at the distance. Will be including longshots; Danger to Society & Stately Character underneath in the exotic plays.

If it were me, I'd play Dunkirk to show and set the $315 aside for a later play on the Ashland, or even the Kentucky Derby...

What ever the wager pays, if the horse pays $6.00 to win = $900

I'd totally be cool with walking away w/ 320.00 and then pissing it away on P4's at Tampa

Show bet Dunkirk or QR

Why is Dunkirk a cinch to run 3rd?

lets see... betting $300 into a race where either Dunkirk or Quality Road most likely win at less than 2-1, or taking that $315 to bet a race worth betting??

Oh wait it was a fischer post , nevermind...

Do you have to make one bet....or bet on only one horse?

If not, and all you really want is a few bucks to bet the other races, why not make three $100 show bets, where you will at least get some money back.

Well, it's already been determined that I've gotten really sad, so why not just throw in the towel.
