At a little over 2/1 there clearly was some big money put on BB....
For those that really liked him, the $3400 triple was definately hit-able....one over six over six for a buck is $30...I did not play any triples but both the filly and DOC were in my top seven...

Yeah, same here. I tossed him from my wagering expecting low payouts and instead had him hit over three horses I liked and played in the 2nd and 3rd spots on all my tickets and winced when I saw the payouts. I guess the Derby is the one race where you can just toss value out the window cause you are going to get a nice payout even with the chalk on top.

my point exactly with a 20 horse field and many derby only players playing colors and favorite numbers dont worry about the prices for the exotics they will be there no matter what. even in the oaks 1st, 3rd and 4th choice paid $239 for the tri and $1395 for the super. yes worry about value, but not on big days like this
