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

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.
