Umm...no. If a Chevy wins you only get $115 profit on that wager, and lose $200 on the other two for a net loss. Same with Toyota winning, the profit would be only $5. A Ford win would get you $500, the only bet that really nets a profit.

So I guess that depends on your definition of "win". If you like to go to the horse track and lay your $2 show bet on a 2-1 favorite and go to the window and collect 20 cent profit, I guess you could "win". But I don't think this is a good move.

from a value standpoint, bet Ford @ &#x2B;700, as Rousch certainly has a chance today.
