“The advice I would give someone when you’re betting the Kentucky Derby would be different than the advice I would give someone who’s just betting an every day race at their local track. The Kentucky Derby is probably the most, the most outstanding betting race of the year in thoroughbred racing because you have 20 horses in the field and each individual horse is its own betting interest. The money bet on the Derby is so spread out that the odds on each individual horse are a lot higher than they would be in a normal race. So, there is a lot of money making potential in the Derby. What I would tell people is, have fun with it obviously because it’s very difficult.
You don’t want to wager over your means by any means, but play horses that have prices. I mean, if you’re gonna do it, swing for the fences, play the superfecta, the 50 cent superfectas and high up some combinations and things like that because you’d be surprise. When you get the Kentucky Derby, around the country, there are all sorts of success stories of people who for relatively small investments, I’m talking about less than $100, have come up with these superfectas that have paid $100,000. So go for some of the long shots and roll the dice and have some fun watching.”
Good article.

#23Hey Steve,
Wanted to be sure that you knew that when I said Give me a break on an earlier post that it was not intended towards you. Fishhead got carried away a bit with his sharpest of the sharp post and it was directed at that , not you.
Best of luck.Comment -
