Hate to admit it after 20 something years, but is "backwheeling" the same as having my horse underneath only, in the exacta?. I could win bet the longshot, and put him under a few horses in exactas, not just under the favorite (whom I may have felt was vulnerable in the first place)

googled backwheeling the exacta and got my answer at the Nightschool! I guess I'm in need of some extra cirricular education after all. Not sure where my minds been wandering since Lil E Tee's Derby win, perhaps I still spend too much time just staring at the fillies:o

It all come back to how much you want to spend in each race.
I'm not big on place betting but, at over 10-12/1 in a decent size field I have no problem with a place bet.

Most of my handle is exacta's and double's.
With the longest shot on the board in an 11 horse field, I would have no problem wheeling him with the field in exacta's and pressing with the top 3-5 choices.

Plucking Rodman out of that field at 36-1 was the hard part, just have to nail down the easier part of getting paid if he runs well but doesn't win.

Not that I haven't squandered plenty of good opinions in my time.

Anyone have an idea on what Chosen Miracle got at Arlington, I think in the second race Saturday?
