Sometimes exactas, maybe a double, but it's not often I see two bettable races in a row anymore.

So for me, win first then exactas or doubles depending upon the situation at hand.

Some experienced Horseplayers here at PA

Win first = simple, concentrated reflection of your opinion. Some advocate 'investing' over 'speculating' and if that's possible in horse racing, that style would be Win Betting.

Exacta and Doubles - A lot of us occasionally find plays here as sort of a bread and butter. Some look exclusively to an Ex or DD.
-These are solid wagers. For one thing, (other than some Pick5s and special wagers or carryovers) the Exacta and the Double are the only decent Takeout% offerings other than Win Place Show, and the Ex DD offer some chance at getting an acceptable return.
A single win overlay and a correct second piece is enough to get fair value or better. Two strong overlays for First-Second exacta or First-First in a DD can sometimes produce exponential value.
