IMO you made a good bet, the horse was decent value. If anyone happened to listen to the recent Bet with the best podcast it was quite a nice interview with Mark Cramer. I liked when he explained his wagering style, it's essentially the value horse at 6-1 or higher to win and place
unless the favorite is legit, in which case it's
still the value horse to win but instead of the place bet he goes with a straight exacta using the favorite over the value horse. In this case we have a $70 exacta under Bob and he's always kind of hard not to like.
Anyway it's quite a good strategy IMO. I happened to do the same thing when I visited Woodbine over the summer I think I had liked a 14-1 in the first race whom I had to win of course but put him underneath the legit favorite, connected with that exacta as a place bet, saved my bacon there, ended up going home a winner for the day just by making that one good decision.
