Question $300 "free" wager on the Florida Derby
I recently came in first place on Capital OTB's "Sun and Snow Showdown" contest. One of the 1st place prizes is a wager (win, place or show) on Saturday's Florida Derby at Gulfstream Park. I was wondering how the DT members would play this wager if they had the chance? It's a straight wager of $300 win, place or show. I'm kinda leaning toward a show wager (don't want to get real greedy) Like to hear how some of you guys would play it.

Saturday around noon hour, have to place the bet at the Albany Tele-Theater in the presence of the marketing director.

If you got a payout for the contest then make a win bet and look to run it up.

Just don't pay too much attention to anything the guy who handicaps NY racing for them says.

I'd bet the horse you think has the best change to win... to show..

A lot better chance of getting money back!! And then you can (hopefully) use that money to play other horses to win, exacta's, etc..

I saw it.

OTB should want him to make a tri......more money back for them. I bet they would make an exception.

You did help me with my decisions in the contest itself with the Aqueduct portion and for that I thank you!

Inherit the Gold (3/14) - 14.00 5.30 and another horse I can't remember at this time

Well, at least my cold tri is no longer the worst suggestion.
