On Friday, I have looked through the field at Pakenham, Kempsey and Albury and found some races that I think should be suitable for an exacta bet. Get the best bets at Only Racing!

Exotic Bets of the Day
Exacta - Pakenham - R8
1st: 8, 3, 4, 6
2nd: 8, 3, 4, 6
Gallant Prince: Friday's race sees some good odds to have a crack, I think. With Jamie Mott on board, that gives me confidence too.
The Jester's Son: Last run was a 5th finish at Mornington over 1600m in a BM70. But, I think The Jester's Son could run well here from barrier 4.
Rubology: Last time on the track, it placed 3rd out of 11 in the BM64 at Benalla on October 28. That race was on a good track and it came in 0.4 lengths behind Eddy Street (59.5kg). Should be in the mix.
Walkinastraitline: Last start, Walkinastraitline was 7th of 14 at Geelong on October 23 over 1400m on a good track, 4.4 lengths behind Fire Wheel (59kg) with 60kg at $9.50. But it should improve here.
Exacta - Kempsey - R7
1st: 2, 7, 3, 4
2nd: 2, 7, 3, 4
Jack Duggan: Back from a spell and usually races well fresh. Should be able to get a top three finish.
Bold Hoi Ho: In good form and has strong claims to win on Friday. Last start was a good one, placing 2nd in a BM66 at Grafton over 1410m.
Tinka's Lad: Resuming after a few weeks off and has a good record when he is racing fresh. Should also enjoy the racing conditions on a good track.
Two Up: In its last run, Two Up placed 4th at Newcastle on November 2 over 1500m, just 3.7 lengths behind Bestower (57.5kg). I think it can run well here too.
Exacta - Albury - R4
1st: 11, 4, 1, 5
2nd: 11, 4, 1, 5
My Friday Beau: He has placed at this distance in 2 starts and usually runs well on good tracks.
Taumata: In its latest run at Wagga Riverside BM58 on October 5, it held its ground and snagged 4th place out of 10, not too bad.
Check Side: The last time this horse hit the track, Check Side put in a better effort, and that's something to take note of for Friday's race. With Nick Souquet riding, you know that Check Side has got a jockey who can handle business.
Wings Of Carmen: Won his first start at this track and should be fitter after running 1600m last start.
Stats and Insights
- Flexi Betting lets you bet a bit of the full dividend, so you can stick to your budget by taking a smaller cut of the total win.
- With the Exacta, your payout depends on which of the Aussie TABs is in your area.
- The Exacta usually pays out more than the Quinella since it's trickier to pick the horses in the right order.
- Exacta's are a good bet if you're really confident in a horse to win, especially if it's a short-priced favourite.
