At KentuckyDerby.com they've changed the display of the exacta pool from previous years when it used to show will-pays. Now it shows the amount bet on each exacta. It would have been helpful if they'd shown the total amount in the exacta pool, which was always shown previously. You can still see how much is in the pool by copying and pasting the whole table into Excel. $47K as I write at 1:25.

Right now there is $3 bet on the Kristo/Vicar's In Trouble exacta. About 12,000 to 1 odds. Don't jump on it though. Your $2 bet would reduce the odds to about 7600-1.

What the *&%%$! Now there's no info showing for the exacta pool. Only the win pool info is showing.

There must be some problems with the exacta display? You'd think this is the first time they've ever done a future wager.

They must have been taking an hour-long siesta. The exacta grid is displaying again now.

I sent an email to the webmaster, and that brought up another frustration. You know those boxes they use to sidetrack robots, where they have letters and numbers that are somewhat a little hard to pick out from the background? CD introduces another level, where you have to guess whether an "o" is an "o", an "O" or a "0" (a zero). Likewise for "p" and "P" and other indistinguishable lc/uc letters. I failed on my first 2 tries, but guessed right on an "o" on the 3rd.

Gone again! Does anyone have a different source for the exacta pool?

Every ADW carrying the bet has the grid.

Ha! The exacta grid is back, but now they've switched from 'amount bet' to 'will-pays'. Nothing like making it easy for a capper to use the data! It's sort of hard to analyze data that completely disappears only to reappear in a different form.
