When does the Derby betting officially open?
 

Is it possible to swing over to the OTB on Friday and get a bet in on the Derby, or do I have to wait until Saturday for the pools to open? Thanks.

You can bet on Friday

I've always been able to bet it on Friday

Yeah, I usually bet it on Fri. at the Oaks, but my dumb @ss waits till I'm intoxicated and end up betting some dumb sh1t. :o

I think Youbet starts taking them sunday

after the BC fiasco, I doubt any real money will show up until you can get a read on how the bias will play

Can you bet on the entire Saturday card on Friday or just the Derby? I'd prefer to wait and see how the track is playing but I won't be able to bet on Saturday. . .

Hockey, I love U man but if U are working on Derby day U should really find another job....BTW, U can only bet on the derby Fri.

Definitely not working. . .
