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?

The bottom line is this. The people with alot of cash to not want to share the big hits with people who will be spending 500-1000 rather than thousands so they can keep all the cash for themselves. money going to money.... big surprize. I still dont understand the difference between an 700000 dollar super and maybe a 500000 for every dollar. just plan old greedyness. What else is new?
