Ticket Format?
What kind of exotics are you guys going to be playing and how many tickets will you be holding?

P4 ending with the Derby will be my "big bet" and then play the Oaks/Woodford/Derby P3. Probably play a few tris in the derby but that is about it.

So far, I am toying with an exacta part wheel
Justify/All
Audible/All
Bolt D’Oro/All
Vino Rosso/All
Hofburg/All
Still not sold on Magnum Moon, but I will stick him in somewhere. Not sure where the triple and Superfecta will wind up, but I have time. Won’t know for sure until the draw.

I'll be playing P3-4. Hopefully not the double as that means I'm blown out. Will be swinging for the fences in single races. If I really have a hard on for a horse I'll spread out there too in 3-4. Passes on races will be by if they return less than 5-1.

That's why you wear a cup on Derby day. Getting kicked squarely in the nuts happens!

My derby strategy:
Swing for fences super: When I hit the super I want to win big.
The rest is pretty conservative: I'll have something that if my horse comes in will cover me for the day.
Undercard and oaks: this is kinda my Christmas so I have a set amount I'm okay losing and just have fun. We throw a derby party every year and I just try to have fun. I can honestly say I usually break about even or come out ahead.

No. It now has been proven that there are only TWO kinds of people in this world: Those who know how to extrapolate from incomplete data

I'll be focusing on the P5 that ends with the Derby (if they still have that, haven't looked at the menu). If I lose the first leg then the P4...P3...if out then will double up on the drinking. The Oaks/W/KD P3 and O/D DD sounds good too. Probably will enter a contest or two as well.
