Exacta.
I did n't know at the time they were n't going to finish first and second.
The winning exacta paid 290.00 as I saw in here:

But that does n't allow me to cross-check so I still don't know.
290.00 is in $2 stake so that's 145.00 as an absolute value.
But 1.20 is impossible for the 11-13.
The reason the wager goes by both names is that they have two ways of computing the price, if they use the paris mutuel method then they call it exacta. If they use the bookmaker's formula they call it forecast.
Never mind that. It's technical.
Now I 'm looking into Mountaineer R5 due to start in 3 mins.
It says 1-7 = 2.98, 7-1 = 2.98 also and both the 1 and the 7 pay 2.75 for the win. That looks okeyish.
