Mark Cramer/Dick Mitchell
suggested win bets on the long(er)shots you like, then an exacta with the favorite on top and the long(er) shots underneath... longshots are much more likely to run second than win, but if they run in you are sure to cover your exacta saver. I however, am much more likely to use a cold favorite as a single to try and leverage prices with a multi-race bet.

oh yes.... Dick Mitchell, a notorious and brilliant California handicapper shows pretty convincing using data from a large series of races that betting trifecta with a fav on top is a losing proposition.... just consistent underlays compared to the price of the ticket.
