I find live longshots on occasion, but they are usually horses I think are good enough to hit the board or be part of the exacta and not horses I think are very likely to win. So I usually key them in my verticals for value and have a small amount on top for those rarer occasions when several of the contenders get a rough trip or don't fire their "A" race and the bomb wins. I'm not sure if I'm maximizing the value that way, but if I can get a 20-1 shot into the belly of the exacta I'm happy. Keying them on top gets a bit frustrating when they rally for 2nd or 3rd and you have nothing or only a saver.
