So, they can't come up with a way to offer more than 23 individual betting interests for the KY Derby Future Wager, but they can offer over/unders?
Here is what the tote board will look like for this wager: Under 4/5 On 20-1 Over 4/5 I really wish racing would try to capitalize on what it actually DOES offer as opposed to trying to immitate totally different gambling activities. Odds-on wagering opportunities aren't going to excite people.

....and I highly doubt that new fans will be psyched when they cheer home the 8-6-5 trifecta and cash their OVER bet for $3.80.

Can the ODD/EVEN wager be far behind?

Yes more than 23 horses
Justin hit the nail on the head. We're stuff with 23 lousy horses in the futures pool and they make up this stuff. They said they were going to make changes this year. Let's hope they do.

This may be the single dumbest idea they have come up with yet.

I think most people would agree with me that Tom Aronson needs to be flogged to death.

I wonder how the Keeneland superfecta "quick pick" has been doing? I haven't seen it emphasized at the track (in the programs, etc) I wonder if the casual betting folks even know it exists?
