^This one didn't work out all that great.
Benefactor (Huge Overlay Key) was 2nd public choice @ 5.10-1.
Probably better at passing on the bet.

This one worked out well.
Very Very Stella (Longshot Underneath Key) was 134-1. Tri was not big, but the exacta (2-3) only paid $9.60!, so the 7 created a lot of value to get the Tri up to $67.70.
This is one that would have been nice to at least play another 50cents with the HEAVY chalk singled on top. Would have cost $2 more for the Tri, and doubled the payday, while at the same time ensuring that if the HEAVY chalk won, my payouts wouldn't deflate so much.
<-- 'Emphasis' of heavy chalk is very important. Adapting your original (night before, morning) selections to the current tote odds and ideas you may have overlooked is very important.
I am far from easy street, and this game presents new challenges/problems every day.
