Silly question

It'd be fun to do that kind of thing for shiats and grins, but I'd never throw away more than a few bucks on something like that. My family and I do something similar every year by putting all of the names in a hat and each drawing like 3 names... whoever has the winner gets $20 or something. It's just fun, but nothing to take seriously.

You know..its funny you say that because every year everyone gets fired up for one race and by the time you play Oaks/Derby doubles, exotics, favorite numbers, anniversaries, and then our real serious bets..its easy to have 2-3 hundred invested in one race. Someday, I'm just going to put $20 WP on the horse I like and call it good.

You say that now...but, the closer we get to "post time" the worst the itch gets!

I'm itching already. I took Nick's advice and put $10 on Any Given Saturday.
It's my only future bet.

I got four horses covered...just deuce on each,
Any Given Saturday & Circular Quay in the first pool &
Great Hunter & Hard Spun in the third...

Wish I could just do the $20 WP... I'll normally spend a couple hundred on derby day, but I look forward to kissing that money goodbye. It's all in good fun.

I always kiss my money away on Derby day. Cant remembered the last time I made money on the Derby.

I actually made a few bucks last year derby weekend because of my win bet on Barbaro... had Ermine to WIN, but didn't bet her WP.

That stinks. The last Derby winner I had was Thundergulch. He went off 25-1 and I still lost money.

Was lucky enough to win a $50 win bet on last year's Derby from a local sports radio show...put it on Barbaro
He was the first Derby winner I picked right since Fu-peg in 2000 and only the third in 20 years...it's a tough race for me.

Congrats on the pick from last year. It is a hard race for me as well. I think I get so caught up in all the Ky Derby facts on what a horses needs to win that I lose sight of my own capping ability.

I've done better in the pools for real. I drew Charasmatic when he won, and Giacomo also. Both were $10 pots. Last ticket I cashed was $5 ex box on Silver Charm - Capt. Bodgit.

Ha! See, clowning me for my quick pix. I'll do my own damn quick pix on about 10 horses. I'm betting 30-40 bucks and by golly I'll hit half the $40 tri baby!

I'll go on record right now and say...if you put a "place or show" bet on the S-daddy in the Derby...you will CASH!
There's no reason that he shouldn't hit the board...a must in you're exotics

I agree with you very much Hickory.

I don't typically make show bets... I'll probably do a tri box and include him for sure. (I plan on putting some WP money on him too. )
