Wizard's Major Stakes for Saturday, May 15th, 2010
Preakness Stakes
Pimlico Race 12 - 1 3/16m Grade I 3yo, Purse: $1,000,000. Post Time: ET
Wagering Strategy
We will make a win bet on our top choice, and a small saver win bet on our third choice, Schoolyard Dreams, who I feel has a reasonable chance to win at big odds. In our exactas we'll concentrate on our top two choices, using them almost equally. We'll also use them both in the top slot in the trifecta play.
* A win bet on (7)LOOKIN AT LUCKY
* Small saver win bet on (2)SCHOOLYARD DREAMS
* Main exacta 7-8, reverse for less
* Secondary exacta box of 2-7-8 = $12 for every $2 wager
* Press with an exacta part-wheel: 7-8 over 2-6-10, reversing for half as much
* Trifecta part-wheel: 7-8 over 2-6-7-8-10 over 1-2-3-6-7-8-10-12 = $48 for a $1 wager
* Press with a trifecta part-wheel: 7-8 over 7-8 over ALL = $20 for a $1 wager.
