Yeah - that Beyer should come back in the -0 to 4 range.

That's the beauty of Mountaineer - big fields, decent pool sizes, and its fair share of races where you can safely eliminate about four horses from even being competitive for an in-the-money finish ... and sometimes a few of those horses will go off single digit odds. It makes the game easier to beat and doesn't demand the player to put up a Herculian effort trying to beat it.

Not surprisingly - Scooter Davis won the Juice trainer fest race and his two good competitors took the silver and bronze. The exacta paid $15 - but the trifecta only paid $18. Get the feeling people just boxed away at the trifecta to collect $9 and change for every $6. Nothing like gobbling up 1/2 or 3/5 odds on a successful trifecta box.
