DERBY DAY SELECTIONS --- FRIDAY RESULTS

It is finally here!  The first Saturday in May and the Kentucky Derby. 


It looks like it is going to be a wet one, whether you're at Churchill or at a party in the area. Fortunately, the forecasts I've been watching seem to be getting a little better the later I watch them for Saturday as I've watched...but there will be rain. 

 Derby=Rain

FRIDAY RESULTS

I had a few winners but missed capturing the Oaks Race.  Oh well, racing luck, right? 

I gave you 52 horses to choose from that competed for 39 "payoff" spots (win place or show).  23 of my picks "hit the board" for a 59% "in the money" percentage. 

I had eight winners in the 13 races, nine second places and six shows. 

I also had five exactas and three trifectas correctly picked. 

I wagered a little differently on Friday. I took my four picks in each race and bet a $2 exacta box.  That's $24 a race X 13 races =  $312 in total wagers 

I got back $325.80.  A $13.80 profit.  I also spent $10 to win on Bellafina. Ugh.
