Did terrible on the across the board bets- Stately Victor and the filly and one I'm too embarrassed to even mention. But on the exacta box I used those three plus Super Saver and Ice Box, so I came out a gigantic $25 ahead. Which, on a total wager of $50 is just fine with me. And glad I didn't try any trifectas as I had something against Paddy, because I'm a moron.
That said, there is nowhere more hilarious than an NYC OTB on Derby Day. Oodles of Upper West Siders who clearly never wager, pouring in and loudly demanding, "Four dollars on Dublin! What? No, I don't know the number! What number? Four! Four dollars!" Oh, good times.
