HP,

I found your reply very helpful and practical.

A question: Where you say, "3) I try to stay out of the exactas more if the favorite looks good. If the favorite looks bad, I'll go deeper in the exactas, and I try to focus on the longer priced horses. "

Could you give a hypothetical example that would show what you mean by "go deeper...and focus..."

Many contributors to this board use the phrase "go deeper," and I never really know how you do that. In, let's say, a 9-horse field with a bad favorite, what might you do with exactas to go deeper?
