No dime supers for the Derby/Oaks days... dime supers for other days a CD..



"NOTE: Trifecta and Superfecta wagering on all races that qualify under Kentucky statutes. Daily Double, Pick-3, Pick-4 and Super High-5 wagers are $1 minimum straight bets. On Oaks Day and Derby Day the Superfecta is a $1.00 minimum wager. The Pick-6 is a $2 minimum wager all days. Also, Over/Under wagering will be offered on all races that qualify. Super High-5 wagering will be offered on selected races."




Here's the wagering menu for Oaks/Derby days:

No, I wanted to play the ten cent supers.

I agree with no 10 cent supers on the Kentucky Derby for this reason.........

On a day when it is hard to get a bet in without waiting god knows how long at your local track, otb etc imagine how bad it could be if you had every Tom, Dick and Harry coming out of the woodwork on top of all the 1 day a year bettors playing 10 cent supers on the Derby. It is a players as well as teller's nightmare.

No thanks, some things are best left alone and this race does not need 10 cent super money in the pool for sure.

Uh...

*startled*

I agree with 2mins.

I'm sure Churchill made this decision exactly for the reason that it's Derby Day and they considered the havoc a bet like this could ( and probably would ) create at the track. However, it is a very poor business decision overall and maybe they should have allowed it everywhere BUT the track. I would imagine that a high percentage of the on-track patrons who were genuinely upset about a decision like that already have ADW accounts and would have had the ability to make their dime supers either over the phone or on-line before going to the races ( Derby betting begins Friday ).

Feels a little short-sighted to me.

I like playing Dime Supers, but I agree with this decision. I've said before and I'll say it again, imagine what the lines will be like at the Spa with NYRA now offering this wager.
