How much time will you spend capping the Derby

This year, I'll probably be playing inside the race only unless I see some can't miss play in one of the other races.

That's the smart way to play it. Unless you have a lock in one of the races and can afford to spread in the others.

I have a friend who bets win/place and exactas, and is constantly telling me he would have had the huge trifecta. I tell him to bet the trifecta, and he tells me he doesn't bet those.

It only took me ten years to convince him to play the exactas... Maybe I'll have an easier time with the trifectas.
