Betting the KY Derby
So I love Alpha and want to play him in a tri. Would it be better to spend the money I would have on a tri ticket where I feel i have coverage for third, or should I just put Alpha down to win? I calculated the first ticket I wanted to play with coverage I felt comfortable with and it came to $90 dollars. If Alpha is in the double digit range arent I better off with a win bet? I have 5 horses for second place and I wouldnt feel comfortable leaving one out for the sake of having a cheaper tri ticket?

If he's your pick and he's 20-1, then I would go heavy on the win bet and maybe protect and use him underneath in exactas. Tri's and Supers get to be such a crapshoot.

You could go ALL-ALL-Alpha in a 50c P3 and hope for some prices

i think he will be around 20-1
would probably just play him to win....(i personally don't like him)...seems like that is the direction you are leaning towards and i would stick with it
