The night before the derby one of the hosts on TVG made an argument for a smarty-rock hard ten exacta,he was going to play it and hoped for odds of 6-1.
Steven Crist from DRF.com loved rock hard too.
I thought rock hard was a game fighter and the freshest of the rest,so....
Was down a bunch on ponies over the last week and had only about $1000 left in my pinnacle account.
Said f-it the night before,going to put it all on that exacta.
Blew the last $1000 in the account before we even got to the Preakness and I'll be damn if that exacta didn't pay 11-1,the shoulda woulda coulda $12,000. ;)
