Thanks.

You can use a horse's exacta odds to construct the equivalent of a win bet. The odds you get that way will usually be lower than that horse's actual win odds because of the bigger takeout in the exact pool. But doing it that way, I get these odds for those 4 horses:

Imp: 3.9-1
Tac: 4.5-1
GW: 4.6-1
MS: 5.1-1

So, looking at it that way, GW looks closer to Tacitus than I thought.
