Result:
2-6-1. The 2-5 combo Win bet is one I would take regularly, even with the #2 going at 7/5 finally. They were Top 2 (on my preferred readout screen) and the #5 was a generous 4-1. Betting the #2 is essentially a hedge against losing the wager (and making a modest payoff), while rooting for the #5 (who perhaps still needed another race returning to action).
