Disagree. I like the fact the minimums are higher on this big day. Encourages players to go for gusto with some monster scores possible from $1 super plays.

I think it's like that to discourage people from holding up betting lines with a bunch of 10cent super part-wheels.

I agree with Port Conway Lane.

Further -- 10-cent supers help take eliminate the tax man (signers are greatly reduced and withholding becomes extremely rare)

If I want a superfecta combo for $1 ... I'll play it ten times for a dime.

The only people who should be opposed to cheap minimums in exotics are the people at the track who get 10% for cashing other peoples signers.

Thats the fact, and it also explains why the Churchill HC had more in it than the Woodford. By that point of the day, you're at a 30 minute line, and many people are putting in all their bets through the Derby, which slows it further. Add to that the fact that most of the tellers are one day temps, you'd never get out of there if people start wheeling a ton of combos on supers. It's hard enough to get an Exacta ticket correct.
