April 30, 201511 yr Interesting article here if you love reading different thoughts on the big race: Here?s why your 2015 Kentucky Derby pick shouldn?t include any of the favorites - The Washington Post
April 30, 201511 yr Keeneland for me...about 5 mins. from my office. Keeneland andTurfway are a good piece away, was hoping someone could explain how to bet horses on the websites that are out there, how to collect,etc. Losing the off track put a dent in my horse betting for events like the Derby and Preakness
May 1, 201511 yr Belterra Park opens for live racing (3 pm post) on Friday. You can bet the Derby on Friday or Saturday in the Grandstand as the River Downs Club is a ticketed event only for Friday and Saturday. I believe they will have Derby betting open at 10 am on Saturday.

You basically use your card to "fund" the account you create on there for your betting. Not entirely sure how you collect, but I'd imagine it routes to your account. Probably worth checking out @All In
May 1, 201511 yr twinspires.com would certainly be a very good place to bet offline. If you set up a new account today and bet $ 100 they will give you $ 100 back. Numerous ways to set up an account and they have online chat to help if needed. I have my account linked to a small checking account. When I need money I simply click a button and a withdraw is made from my bank account the next business day, but funds are available immediately. Same goes for removing winnings from the account. Click a button and the next day your winnings are in your bank account. Any other questions, post them and I will see what I can answer.
May 1, 201511 yr Was with some big-time horse racing bettors last night watching the draft. They were convinced that the Trifecta will hit for no less than $8,000 Saturday. Also said no way AP wins. :idunno:

I was wanting to set up an account, but not sure which to use.

Also said no way AP wins. :idunno: No less than $8,000? That means they probably don't really like Dortmund or AP to bring it home. When I hit it in 2012, I won about $1,500.
May 1, 201511 yr With Stanford scratching and Frammento running in his place. Does that mean that all of the horses slide up a post (e.g. AP is now in the #17 post) or does Frammento just jump into the #11 spot?

Also said no way AP wins. :idunno: The people at TVG and HRTV are big time horse racing bettors, there lucky getting one right in their pick fours and they spend fifty to a hundred dollars a pop. Thanks for the heads up, but I'm still putting most of my hard earned money on AP. I'll play some tri's and exacta's using other horses with some long odds. Good luck, hope all your wagers are winning ones.

In no way am I saying anyone should take it as advise.
May 1, 201511 yr I am going all in on Frosted. I love the horse, love Rosario, like the post position and research shows that the horse is one that is well bred for this distance.
May 1, 201511 yr TVG is okay, but I believe they charge you a fee for each bet. Maybe a $ .25 or so unless you are a big time better. I have never had an issue with TwinSpires at anytime.
