I thought the exacta was extremely generous.
CJ and I discussed the race a little in another thread. I wound up making a few dollars on the race, but in all honestly I screwed it up badly.
I wound up keying against the horses I thought would chase Serengeti Empress (Jaywalk/Bellafina) and keying the winner to create value in the exacta and/or trifecta, but I used her on top way less.
I WAY over thought the race.
On paper the race looked like it was going to have a very fast pace and I should focus on Guarana and Street Band, but since I had seen Serengeti Empress bottom out a field loaded with speed before, I was afraid to toss her, especially from the rail. So I had some SE with the winner too.
With any other speed horse, I might have crushed the exacta and triple. That's the downside of thinking too much sometimes.
