In a big race like the Derby, I don't disagree with them not allowing 10-cent supers, with so much money being handled.
or they could spend the $20 on dime supers in the next race at YOUR track.

what is to say that if your track didn't have the dime super that the bettor wouldn't have bet the entire $50 at other tracks?
