Wrong again, just like everything else on this Derby for me. Hell, even my 3 year streak of picking the last place finisher is out the door. Went with Join in the Dance and he finished a very credible 7th.
Ha! i used your pick 4 method. i did 3 120 dollar tickets. then i did a 36 dollar saver.

1/2/3 w 3 w 6 w deep derby.

Mine that bird wasnt in deep derby.

Back to the drawing board.

20 bucks (all button) away from 20k. Back to the drawing board.

One guy on this board scored out with good ticket structure on the derby- and it sure as hell wasn't me.

I bet $150 total all day. Return of $0. Compare that to over $5k handle on track at Derby Day last year. Actually just started a thread about the day's economics. How did you do overall? Make any money on the early races?

Not good, but did have tizaqueena. I kept having the right idea but wrong horse. I bet against kodiak cowboy (didnt seem to like offgoing according to form) but took my pal charlie as opposed to accreditted. Loved Papa clem and didnt have a clue about mine that bird.

Overall, losing day that could have been highly successful. its tough going in to the derby 12 deep with a pick 4 and not coming away a winner.
