With the Florida Derby handle you might not notice a huge difference, but I also would calculate using the pools what the "pari-mutuel" effect of the bet will be, and make my decision based on the anticipated odds after the wager relative to your estimate of the horse's actual chance of winning.

Best of luck and let us know how you do!

$300 will make ZERO difference in the pools. You could bet it 5 hours prior to post and it would not change the odds. This is GULFSTREAM on Fla Derby day, not Penn Nat'l or Mountainqueer.
