It's a single bet, so it counts as one race, just like a daily double or a pick 5.

Good to know. I knew that to be true on a single day of racing, but rules don't seem all that clear on a 2 day bet. Also Don said at the beginning of this thread to make your best 4 wagers. I didn't think we were limited to 4 wagers. I thought we were limited to 4 races or have I got that wrong?

Cal. You could bet as many types of bets as offered in each of four race. For example Zippy often bets an exacta and a show wager in one race and exacta's in the other three. In theory I guess (and correct me if I'm wrong) you could start a pick 3, pick 4 and pick 5 in one race (if offered) and still bet 3 more races. Of course I'd have a nervous breakdown scoring it but that's a story for another day.

I'll save you $40, I think. Pretty sure 10 cent supers are not allowed. Minimum supers allowed are a dollar. That really sucks, but understandable as far as betting by the live tellers or even the self service machines. I remember when they first allowed
Supers at Oaklawn. Normally, there would never be more than a few people at the machines betting. Probably a lot of people
intimidated by the machines, but after they allowed the Supers even the lines at the machines were long.

You are probably right Cal. It must be a Derby/ Oaks thing. I looked at the results yesterday and saw there were 10 cent superfecta payouts so I assumed the same for Saturday. Even the Churchill site mentions 10 cent supers but I guess not tomorrow. Thanks for the heads up.

Over on the Paddock page, Steve put up a wagering menu which confirms that dime supers are not offered on either day. I don't think they've been offered for several years. Like you, I would have definitely taken advantage of them had they been offered. I think they just want the "whales" betting.

Well, my efforts at an Oaks/Derby double went up in smoke. Here goes with the rest of the bankroll.

Race 4:
$42 Exacta: 2 / 3,5
$20 Exacta: 3,5 / 2

Good luck to all and thank you to Real Quiet for scoring.

I've always thought it was 4 races. After all, some of my pick 4 arrays might have more than 4 separate "wagers" (especially if I use the "A', "B", "C" and "X" method), but still only counts as 1 race.

I am capable of betting a ridiculous number of wagers on a single race. Probably causing RQ to regret his job as the scorer, but have tried to be a bit more conservative of late. Kind of hard to be conservative when it comes to the Derby.

OK, enough of the banter, much as I enjoy it. Time to step up to the window and get my bet down.

Oaks/Derby Double:

$5: 7 / 5,15,17 ($15)
$3: 7 / 2,3,6,8,14,22 ($18)
$3: 4,6 / 5,15,17 ($18)
$2: 4,6 / 2,3,6,8,14,22 ($24)

Total: $75

Left to wager: $125
