Hi Mike,

No don't box the three horses for the Trifecta's for $1. At six bucks all you can do is this....
$1.00 Exacta A,B,C WITH D,E

Yesterday this would be $84 In and $89.20 Out for a +6.2% ROI. If you could afford another $6 I'd throw in the C-Leg of Wagering Bundling #1 also.

Yesterday this would've been $168 In and $328.20 Out for a ROI of +195.6%

If $6 is your top amount then one of those two wagers would work for you. Just whichever one you chose stick with it for the day. Never flip-flop or zig-zag. Worse thing in the world you can do for the day.

Good luck either way.
