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.

Race 6 - $2.00 Two Day P6 (La Troienne - Oaks - Derby City Distaff - Churchill Downs -Turf Classic - Derby)
