May 1, 200818 yr Here are my Exacta and my tri. I will box both. Big Brown/Gayego/Colonel John exacta box. Big Brown/Gayego/Colonel John/Pyro trifecta box I'm also going to play Colonel John WPS, hoping to beat the "unbeatable" Big Brown. Gotta love those that bet more than they could possibly win! :lol: Just giving you some grief, you do your thing! Big Brown and Colonel John will be big time favorites come Saturday, IMO. Trust me on this one, Pyro is a pretender.

Big Brown/Gayego/Colonel John/Pyro trifecta box I'm also going to play Colonel John WPS, hoping to beat the "unbeatable" Big Brown. Here's my question to you though, if you're going to do that tri, there is no reason to do the Exacta. Might as well just load up on the tri. See what I mean?
May 1, 200818 yr Author Here's my question to you though, if you're going to do that tri, there is no reason to do the Exacta. Might as well just load up on the tri. See what I mean? Anyone could run 3rd in the Derby, though. My advice would be to wheel the tri, like... Big Brown, Colonel John , Pyro, Gayego/ Big Brown, Colonel John, Pyro, Gayego/ Big Brown Colonel John, Pyro, Gayego, with a few other horses. That could get a bit costly, so you may want to look at only using 3 horses in first. I am a big believer in boxing is waisting your money when you could wheel and use more horses on the bottom. Its much easier to run 3rd then it is 1st.

I just hope I can tell the person at the window correctly after 5-6 mint julips!:creepy::lol:

May 2, 200818 yr Right now I am looking at 5,9,10,20 on a tri box. I thought you could only box 3 in a tri box(hence the name) and 2 in an exacta box. Is a straight trifecta bet or straight exacta bet cheaper than the box style bets? Someone explain all this to me, thanks.

Someone explain all this to me, thanks.You could box the entire field in an Exacta, it would just cost you way more than you could possibly win. It is common for poeple to put 3 in Exacta or 4 in tri. Boxing means the horses 3,4 or however many you have can come in any order as long as they are the first 3 or 4 or whatever it is you are betting. It is also much more expensive to do this. If you do not box it you need to get them in the right order for the ticket to pay. Make more sense?

So a $2 dollar straight exacta or straight trifecta bet would just cost 2 dollars, whereas a $2 exacta box bet with 3 horses would cost you $6. Am I right?
May 2, 200818 yr A $2 exacta box with 3 horses costs $12. 1-2 1-3 2-1 2-3 3-1 3-2 6 combinations time $2.

Obviously the 2005 Derby paid well, but last year they would have lost mass. The math on boxing the entire field in the Derby for a tri... 20x19x18.
