Lol. Short answer to ? is no.  ngc3

I like dave little, in my mind these guys are almost never given respect but dave is a little bit of a chalker.

Wonder if old man bongo crushed that exacta. Gonna pay $5.20. I had twenty bucks cold on it and thought when handicapping race was a smart play. No thiz is redboarding but trust me when i say id never played that bet if i knew the potential payoff when putting wager in.  ngc3

To avoid redboarding again tonight ill give out a few i like later on card. In 6th i used b baillegeron 3 at 15-1. He can train a trotter and last race in canada makes me think he is sitting on a big race. Also gets d miller. I used him in exacta box and on the bottom of triples.

I also like ants marching in 11th at 8-1. Barns horses are ready off layoff.

Occasionally worth the exacta under the whole field.

Of course it is never worth it, but at many harness tracks today you bet a horse at 5/2 when the horses are nearing the starting gate and it is less than even money when the windows close. The pools at most tracks are so small that a few bigger bets blow up the odds. Besides The Meadowlands most harness track pools are pathetically low. Tioga, Saratoga, Vernon, Plainfield, Cumberland, Aces, and others offer pools for exotics that are often less than $1,000. So no 1/9 is never worth it but so are other bets at lots of harness tracks.
