Average $2 trifecta has paid in the $20,000 range over the last 10 years and the 20 horse field this year will keep that # high

You could box half the field and still make a profit , but it is still hard to get all 3 with 10 picks

8,000 combinations.

If I had 8000 points I would have bet them all on those exacta combos.

better off just picking numbers in this 20 horse field there is not much handicapping that can be done there is far too many variables to take into consideration.

It's raining. I agree that there should be a big payout for the trifecta.

1/4/10/11/20 ex and tri box im playing.

wtt0315 · 05-01-10, 05:39 PM

hit the exact

jw · 05-01-10, 05:53 PM

$150 exacta payout - not bad - very pickable exacta

Win Pool - $30.6 million
Place Pool - $9.6 million
Show Pool - $8.1 million
Exacta - $21.6 million
Tri - $25.5 million
Super - $8.5 million
others - 1 million

Total derby pool $105 million .... not a bad pool for Churchill to takeout its 15-20% cut .... and when you consider that a VERY big percentage of people have no idea how to bet online or will not visit an OTB ....

... and they say there is no money around ...
