You don't have that much to bet. Do you want to split it up evenly between the three bets?

AB, you don't have to count this, I'm clearly past the deadline. But if you want to, here would've been my bets:

$3 ATB on the favorite,
$2 ATB on the runner-up favorite
$2 ATB on the 3rd best odds, and

$2 exacta boxes on the three best odds (12 total combos)

Like I said, I'm going on the honor system. I don't know what the payouts would've been. I know I Vikinged the picks, so if you say know go I'll accept your decisions.

I think i got everything. Ljam, I took yours and used the 6PM odds, so you got empire's $2 ATB to count. TT I adjusted your bets because you had to bet $22 instead of 20, so I did a 8/7/7.

I got drunk last night an hit a $55 win on a trotter race. The TVG app is dangerous!

That total bankroll was the amount oyu had after Preakness but doesn't include the $20 belmont funds, which is why the minimum bets are not straight halvsies.

Well hoping AB will volunteer to run this again.....but if you want odds, predictions, and commentary from someone whose only experience with horses was Camp Wonderland growing up (and hating it)...sure. Prediction #1---we will never see a horse racing mascot as good as..
