I cannot understand why anyone would waste their money on an exacta.It is hard enough to pick the winner without having to pick 1st & 2nd in the correct order!!And can anyone tell me if you are so sure of 1st & 2nd why you would not hit the trifecta??AB/AB/field??The quinella is much better value,and they can finish in any order.However,to be successful in quinella betting you must bet to prices,not blindly follow the herd.If there is any show of interest I will start a thread devoted to quinella betting only.
