For those multi-race wager fans there are four sequential P5 opportunities on both the Oaks and Derby cards, plus a new all stakes, all dirt P5 wager (Knicks Go - Pat Day Mile - Derby City Distaff - Churchill Downs - Derby) on Derby Day. Toss in the "throwback" to a $3 minimum P3 on Derby Day in a new $3 all stakes 3YO P3 (American Turf - Pat Day Mile - Kentucky Derby) along with the traditional $1 minimum Oaks-Derby DD and $0.50 Oaks-Turf Classic-Derby P3 you have ample betting opportunities to add to (or detract from) your bankroll. Note that superfecta and super hi 5 wagers have a $1 minimum on Oaks and Derby Day. I am not a P6 player (I often have trouble grabbing one in a row), but there is $0.20 sequential Derby City 6 on both days - starting in Race 6 Oaks Day and in Race 7 Derby Day with the "big" race each day as the final race. Perhaps confusingly, also starting in Race 6 on Oaks Day is the $2.00 Two Day Pick 6 (La Troienne - Oaks - Derby City Distaff - Churchill Downs -Turf Classic - Derby) that will be found as a separate betting event from the regular Oaks Day card to help avoid confusion. I suspect that may add to the crush of bettors in Race 6 on Oaks Day - get you wagers in early that race.
Summary of "special" bets:
Oaks Friday
Race 6 - $2.00 Two Day P6 (La Troienne - Oaks - Derby City Distaff - Churchill Downs -Turf Classic - Derby)

Good thing they gave us all those trick bets, otherwise everyone would be bored.
Also good they give us an hour between races Saturday to figure that stuff out.
Thanks for the information.
Does anyone know what \"field\" horses made it into the Kentucky Derby from the futures bet? I made an early bet since the Baffert-trained horses were not listed and I figured at least a couple would pop up with other trainers -- Taiba and Messier did.
Depends what pool you bet into, look at the date on your wager - https://www.kentuckyderby.com/wager/future-wager
