May 4, 201313 yr I hit an Exacta today in one race only to watch as one of the horses was disqualified...talk about letting the wind out of the sails lol.
May 4, 201313 yr It will be worse than ever with River Downs being under construction. We are getting there around 3. I don't remember what time it was, but I went to Turfway last you on Derby Day, early afternoon and the place was dead. I think I'm heading there about 2. Have me a couple beers, make way too many bets on trifectas and exactas and bounce lol.

Yesterday when I went to Turfway I ran into a friend who jokingly told me that "I have a gambling problem". I replied that "it's no problem at all, just walk up to the window and make a bet". :thumb:

With River Downs being closed I'm sure it will be packed.

May 4, 201313 yr Cool things of the entire day to me: Horse named St X wins his race. Horse named Bellarmine wins his race. McPeek (Kentucky guy) had a great day at the track despite not winning the Derby. McGaughey (Kentucky guy) wins Derby. More I can't remember right now... Great day for Kentucky!
May 4, 201313 yr I sort of think that exactas box are your best bet chance for your money. I think the $2 bet last year won you like $550, but I could be wrong. Read some numbers the other day: Superfecta 20 horses: 116,280 combinations 19 horses: 93,024 combinations Trifecta 20: 6840 combinations 19: 5814 combinations Exacta 20: 380 combinations 19: 342 combinations Throw a nice chunk of change in a coupe places, get some bourbon, and hope to celebrate. Love the derby! I have found boxing 3 horses for the exacta does well. $1 box is $6 per race. Especially good if there is a strong favorite that will not pay much even if you hit it on the nose.
