Hi Jeebs:

Bill is correct as to how Ted does it.

Also one can scratch the horse or as I do I just downgrade the horse mentally. E.g in this case from # two on RX3 to # 3 or 4. In betting two horses I have downgraded it to a non win bet. I prefer to do it this way as the horse may still be a contender for place if I'm betting the EX. and if its hidden you may forget about it as a contender for the EX.

If your not betting EX's I would recommend Ted's way (making it a secondary contender)because you may forget that you downgraded this horse especially if playing multiple races.

This is one of those things that the individual must decide depending on your wagering of the race or personal preference. But be aware if playing EX. or multiple races.
