  2. $2 Exacta box of the 2 VO's
  3. $1 Exacta with the 2 VO's on top and all horses in Group A and B underneath.
  4. $1 Trifecta with the 2 VO's on top and all of Group A in the 2nd and 3rd slot of the tri.

Figuring + Overlay % - On these articles you will notice Overlay %. This is figured by simply taking the post time odds and divide by the true odds. This example was 16 divided by 2 which equals 8.00 - We subtract 1.00 and convert this to a percentage = +700%. The other was 18 divided by 3 which equals 6.00 - We subtract 1.00 and convert this to a percentage = +500%.
