Teddy, interesting subject. While I don't use a black box, my approach is usually some form of A-B-C exacta play. My A's are usually based on my home-grown tote play, B's are either a combo of speed improvement, fulcrum pace qualifier, or a secondary tote play if one occurs. C's can be a dominant early speed play, or just gut-shot that my handicapping points towards. If there's a strong looking favorite, I generally box it with an A. While I didn't mention closers, they're often included in some way by one of the ABC's.
