Breeders' Cup Longshots

No waxing poetic this week folks…..it’s finals time!  We’ve been studying all year for the two-day comprehensive exam known as the Breeders’ Cup.  Over the next few days I’ll share my selections for all the races, but today is about a wager that I utilize on big race days when fields are large and contentious: the 10-cent superfecta.  The 10-cent super allows players to build massive tickets for minimal cost, where 1 or 2 correct opinions during the course of the Breeders’ Cup will put them in the black.  One of my favorite variations is to find a horse that is 10-1 or greater and wheel them in 3rd and 4th (maybe 2nd) with other contenders.  For example, a 3x1x5x7 ($6), 3x5x1x7 ($6) and 3x5x7x1 ($6) can give you a lot of coverage for only $18.  Normally with this play, if I don’t wheel my key horse 2nd in the superfecta, I may wheel him in the place spot of exactas with the 3 horses on the top line of my superfecta wheels (depending on the will pays).  Let’s take a look at some horses I’ve pinpointed that could be great candidates for these “reverse pyramid” superfecta wheels this weekend.
