Does anyone have data on the Ky Derby exacta will-pays from the previous couple of years (not just the actual payouts, but the final pool tallies for the exacta combinations)? Even one year's data would be nice but if anyone has the past three or four years that would be even better.

As always, much obliged to your kindness and generosity.

I always say this is the best bet you can make. I've done an all/all exacta the last few years. Last year I took a beating. Think I spent $760 ($2 ex) and got back $150

This year spend 960 and box the field for 2 and then do a 10 dollar box with the 5 shortest priced horses. This way, if chalk wins, you have the exa for 12 and not 2.

I was being sarcastic.

If you want to play it like it's the lottery, combine it with some handicapping and try and maximize your bet. Instead of boxing the field, pick out 9 or 10 horses who you think can run 1st or second and box them. A 9 horse $5 exacta box would cost you half of what you spent previously.
