$70.00
My mom-in-law won on Giacomo, bet 15 that day; I bet 17 @ $34.00 and hit on the winner. I love big fields when there is rain (even when it is dry!).

We went to Arlington Racecourse for the day. Hit 3 exactas, was up $150- minus food and drinks, spent $90 on the Derby, all over Dunkirk, and will only treat the Derby as just another race, its gotten too difficult for me. We have birds at home, ..my wife put $2 across on each Bird horse, she's still chirpping!...

I had a Derby party with about 30 people, as I do every year, with mostly small bettors. I have people betting their birthdays, some betting one way five dollar supers, show bets on 5 horses, & all kinds of other strange bets. We also put in a group trifecta that was just under $400. In total, I put in about $800 in bets online, and for the first time that I can remember, not one person cashed a ticket. I think I was the only one who even had an 8 on any ticket.
Personally, I lost my $30 in the group bet, and then lost $15 to win on Regal Ransom, and $2 in exacta bets (with Mine that Bird underneath, grrr).
As usual (last year was exception), I never bet much on the derby, and just hope that it sets up future bets. Nothing would be better for me than to have Mine that Bird somehow win the Preakness. I'd be licking my chops, waiting for the Belmont.

I can't believe nobody tried to get cute like me and drill one of the "big 3" to show I put 400 to show on FF looking for the 5.40 to show I
Also made some ex plays 5,6/256710,11,12,14,15,16,19 also.backwheeling the 11 seeing he was getting more play then usual and put 50 win 19 thinking I had a freeroll with the show bet as they hit the far turn I was counting my cash ff right there 19 there kent sitting on the 5 and the 11 in the mix but as soon as they hit the lane I had zero action........ Only possible way to have the ex or tri Imo is to wheel potn it would have cost 1000 to do that potn all all...all potn all... All all potn

Because of the track condition I took it easy. I had FF, PC, MM and PON in various tris and ex's at a cost of $30. But I bet $2 on ShesaQueena to win and she did and paid $20 so I lost $10. Cheap day, lots of thrills.

Was between iwr and pon...... never was going to use ff or dunkirk. when iwr was out, I keyed pon with 5 price horses in ex and tri ......Only thing I got was the satisfaction that I was right taken a stand against a "sore" ff and a "hit the wall" dunkirk. Sometimes you can be so smart and still cant get lucky.....would have had to go 14 deep to get mtb in my plays ....thats why they call it "HORSE RACING". LOL at myself....
