Okay so this is a dumb question but since I didn't know the above I'll ask... did they have things like Pick 3s and 4s back then? Tris and supers? If not when did that kind of wagering begin?

Yes I did try, unsuccessfully, to find the answer to this.

ok they had 7 BC races that day, and they only had $5 exacta's on all races except the first 2 races, and they $2 pick six 2nd thru 7th race and $2 DD's only on first and 2nd races. Talk about old school !!
