Thanks in advance.

What are your key horses in each race?

If you play a conditional pick 4 where you have to hit 2 or 3 of your key horses it can cut way down on the cost.

Give me your top horse or two in each race and I will show you. The fewer key horses the cheaper it will be.

Here is what it would be where 1 is your top horse 2 is your second etc...

This is a two condition p4 where you have to get two key horses out of 4.

This is playing both horses as key in the last race and only having 1 key horse in the other three races.

Ticket 1: 1 / 2 3 4 5 / 2 3 4 / 1 2

Ticket 2: 1 2 3 4 / 1 / 2 3 4 /1 2

Ticket 3: 1 2 3 4 / 1 2 3 4 5 / 1 / 1 2


$44 total

You have to win two races this way, one of which is the last which you only have two horses anyway. So you have to get your top horse in one of the other 3 races.

BOL with that P4
Yup, you are absolutely right. The Pick 4 paid $4250!! And I did not have one single one correct!! Man, I sucked today!!
They either come 2nd or 3rd.
