Quote form original POST: How often do you see the best 2 out of three horses run 1/2 or 1/3 and the runners UNDER THEM are random, irrational and HIGH odds leaving what would be an exacta (or the horrid SPLITZACTA). The resultant random ones under bolsters the payout tremendously. Go through some charts at almost any track and you will see countless examples of this which I also call the marriage of ORDER and Randomness together.

so the following are from last Saturday and all fit these 3 definitions: top, splitzacta, two of three favorites

Arlington: races 3 4 5 6 8
Delaware: short fields short prices would hardly cover the wager 7 & 8
Evangeline: 3 5 8
Louisiana Downs: 5 & 6
Remington: 5 & 8
Prairie Meadows: 4 5 6
Woodbine: 7th
Belmont: 3 6
Churchill Downs: 1 5 7
GGF: 4 & 6
Gulfstream: 1 2 4 5 6 7 10 11 wow
Laurel: 3 7 8 11
