The most surprising thing about that spreadsheet is that the 12 horse Churchill Downs out-handled the 13 horse Woodford Reserve in every exotic pool. Must have been all that money from people like me who bet Capt. Candyman Can and got one of the worst rides of Calvin Borel's career.

Bombs away last year.

Isn't the Woodford Reserve the race they inexplicably don't show every year?

It's usually the Manhattan that gets blacked out pre-Belmont.

It just kills me we can't bet a dime super on either day.

I'm for getting rid of dime supers and .50 P4's all-together. Can anyone truly say that their ROI on P4's has improved since they have gone the .50 route? People spend just as much playing .50 as they would a dollar get more combinations and IMLHO severly watered down payouts. I wish the industry or DRF would publish a study of .50 P4's. I do realize I won't get any support on my position but that is how I see it.

Disagree. I like the fact the minimums are higher on this big day. Encourages players to go for gusto with some monster scores possible from $1 super plays.
