I like California Chrome to win but would not win anything betting on him with 5-2 odds; California Chrome, Danza, Wicked Strong and Intense Holiday would be my picks but heck need a long shot too
You can if you go for the exacta or tri. I hit the tri on the Oak by putting Untapable on top, then boxing 4 horses for 2nd and 3rd. Cost $24, payout was $178.
I will have at least one ticket like that with California Chrome... just in case he does get a clean race. If he does? He wins.. IMO. But, I'm not sure he will. I'm betting on some other options too.
