Can you imagine he is alive going into the last leg and he is rooting for a longshot to beat his horse, while you sitting there with a bet on his horse?!!! At least Pete Rose bet on his own team.

It would be interesting to know what the actual rule is today. I know when I owned horses 25 years ago the rule was you had to single your horse in multi's for the exact reason you point out. At one point you could only bet your horse on top even in exactas but then they switched it to permit you to have a boxed exacta ticket.
