A will pay grid for a twin exacta would be enormous and impractical but could be done. To each his own, I prefer to see the horse in the flesh before investing.

My experience was based mainly from when Los Alamitos offered the twin tri back in 1992, here is a link to an L.A. times article from back then, http://articles.latimes.com/1992-02-...ecta-carryover
plus our local dog track in Idaho offered a twin quin and twin tri and tri-super that had split payouts. So like I said it is a different world now but that is what I remember.

When people had to exchange winning tickets years ago, the tote was obviously less sophisticated, so clearly that would no longer be the case.

This bet would be a compromise for a bet I would prefer. There is no timetable, it is simply something we have discussed. Thanks for your input.

Because a bettor could wager until post time of the 2nd leg the will pays could be shown as the exchange wagers come in and value could be realized as easily as it would be before the first leg.
