Jeebs and Ted,
I'm a matchup guy but here is an example from the 2nd race yesterday at Arlington Park. The horse paid $36.00.
In the last race off a layoff, the horse gains position from 3rd to 2nd between the 1st and 2nd call. If you then go back to the last poly track race at KEE, you see a solid race at 7f. I played this horse but unfortunately didn't look at the pick 3. This horse keyed the 1st leg of a pick 3 that paid 2 out of 3. If one had hit all three, the $10,000 pool less the 25% takeout of $7,500 was there for a $1!
