Horse Racing Rundown?

[Chugs]

Can someone give me a rundown of how Horse Racing Betting works and what the Kentucky Derby is all about? Ive never really gotten into the horses, always been a sportsbook guy. But I hear all these talks about the Derby and I want some action.

So how do you bet on horses, and whats all this "oh i got 5-9-16 for the derby" stuff I see every where?

Now I know the Kentucky Derby is a big race and ive always watched it, but I always thought the Kentucky Derby was just one big race. What is all this Oaks stuff about and all these other races? Do the same horses race or like other horses that arent as good or something?

So can someone help me out and give me a rundown of how all this stuff works...

biggest square race of the year, far too many owners enter their horses in the race when they have no fukkin business being anywhere near it.

Usually has a huge payoff from the large odds winners that hit with regularity in this race. 2nd biggest in history last year (Mine that Bird)

Actually that is far from the truth

If they had no business being there you would not have huge payoffs then


Need to make up your mind Brock.
