One of my favorite ways to play the races is to key horses in third, and then sometimes in second. For longshots, it's easier to run third than it is to run second, and easier to run second that it is to run third. Often times, those underneath horses are closers who figure to pass tired pace horses. Denis of Cork is one example but unfortunately, I tired to get too cute and beat Big Brown.
