Andy, is that really the fair or comparitive analysis? I mean, I am just thinking this through, but how would you know, in hindsight, that you would play that 10-1 to 20-1 horse (that finished second) as opposed to another 10-1 to 20-1 horse? Do you then expand the play to include a second exacta underneath the favorite?

Thanks.
