I pulled out the old formula and implemented into the AC category just because each race looks to have a very beatable favourite, and I'd like to use any weapon I can to try to beat them. So I did. I've done this a number of times over the past month in these type of attack races, and it's worked out well for me.

Race 1 plans;

- 4,5 / 1,3,4,5 in $5 exactas
- 4 / 1,3,5 / 1,3,5 in $2 tris
- win bet the best value (if any) from my top 4

I'll have to call an audible in race 1 here as the #6 isn't taking nearly the money his morning line odds said he would, and also the #1 is getting way overbet to my liking (current 9/5 favourite)

As it looks right now with 5 minutes to post, the #3, #4, #5 are the horses I'll be using.

- #3, #4, #5 exacta box (#4 is slightly overbet, but I have two value equalizers+ along with it)
- #4 / #3, #5 / #3, #5 and #3, #5 / #4 / #3, #5 trifectas
- win bet the #5
 
Race 6 plans;

- 1,4 / 1,4,7 in $5 exactas
- 4 / 1 / 2,7 in $2 tris
- 4 / 2,7 / 1 in $2 tris
- win bet the best value (if any) from my top 3


Those are based on the morning lines and assuming no scratches, so they can change of course.

Based on the will pays the #2 is going to go off favourite here and then followed by the #6 who I'm completely against. I think I'm going to keep these trifecta plays as is, though, since I really don't have another option behind that one and it allows for a little extra insurance for only a few bucks extra ($4). Plus I'm getting double, even triple the value on the other three horses I'm using this race as it stands now with just under 10 minutes to post.
 
I double win bet this race as well with the #4 (for $10) and the #1 (for $5).
 
Big payouts that race with the #5 winning at 25/1, the #1 placing at 11/1, the #2 at short odds, and then the #3 in 4th at 50/1. The super was about 3500/1 in only a 7 horse field for the lucky few out there.

I got the place horse in order for this race, as well as the show horse. Best of all I ranked the morning line favourite last, and it went out there and shit the bed in finishing last by about 20 lengths at 8/5. That trifecta of sorts has got to be worth a consolation prize, no?

#6 over #4, #7 in a pair of $5 exactas coming up in race 8 at Delta Downs. The #2 will be the 2nd choice so I'd like to beat it out of the top two.

Just my luck. The #7 gets hammered around the turn while starting it's move forward (horse that did it was DQ'd), and then the #4 gets beat by a head by the #2 for 2nd. The #6 was daylights the best and ran like it.
 
Race 1 at Tampa;

- #4 to win
- #4 / #2, #6 and #2, #6 / #4 exactas
 
Got the #4 home 1st at almost 10/1, but I had a 35/1 exacta ruined in the last fucking stride when the #3 just nipped the #2 at the line.
 
#3 to win in race 2 at Aqueduct coming up in a couple of minutes.
 
Race 3 at Tampa coming up in a couple minutes;

- #4 to win
- #4 / #5, #6 and #5, #6 / #4 exactas
 
Race 3 at Tampa coming up in a couple minutes;

- #4 to win
- #4 / #5, #6 and #5, #6 / #4 exactas

Also keyed the #4 in the top 2 spots with the #2, #5, #6 in some trifectas
 
So much for that bet. Was going to key the #6 in this race at Tampa, but it started freaking out in the gate just before start. Should be scratched.

Going with;

#1, #2 / #1, #2, #3, #6 / #1, #2, #3, #6 exactas and tris. The #2 is also currently 5/1, but I'll wait a couple minutes before deciding on a win bet on it.
 
Came back #1, #6, #7, #2. Plus $37 on the race, but was only a length away from a 90/1 tri.
