Alright. First oaks and derby.
Never bet. But have done betting research.
Do you recommend anything other than win or w/p/s?
Any wheels? Boxes? That kinda stuff worth it?
Like AP/all/all?

Also. Is it worthwhile asking win flyers on longer shots like far right, upstart, mubtaahij, int. star and hope to cover?

My favorite bet is $1 try box with 4 horses- with the crazy odds on Derby wkd, you can pick the top horses in the race, and as long as a medium shot steps up, the pay off is pretty damn good for $24.

Speaking of which, my picks for tomorrow after going through the PPs:
Oaks: 3-5-10-12 tri box
8 belles: 1-2-8-9 tri box
Turf Sprint: 3-8-9-12 tri box
Alysheba: 6-7-8-9 tri box
La Troienne: 2-6-8-9 tri box
Race 2: 4-6-9-11 tri box
Race 1: WPS on 6-8

$160 total

Picked derby winner.
Had a decent exacta box hit.
Called the superfecta but didn't have the balls to bet it.

Ended up even on the weekend betting every race b/c I hit on all 3 tickets I had in race 12 & 13. Wps on both winners and exacta on race 12.

Really fun weekend. Had fun getting all dressed up and mingling, but not sure if I would go back... What's the draw? Why not just watch it on tv?
We had TERRIFIC seats. We just didn't enjoy the betting and there wasn't much to do besides that. Am I missing something?
