Kentucky derby

Any horse bettors here? Nyquist is favored at 3-1 odds. I might make a trifecta or superfecta bet myself.
I'm playing a 10 horse $1 exacta box, $90. Definitely will have the 11 and 13(Nyquist) in there. Also will play a 7-horse $.50 tri box, $105. very curious about the Japan invader, Lani, #8. It's a big field of young horses, 90% is luck in picking a winner. Best horse only wins a small percentage of the time.
Lani is BS Crazy but I think at high odds he is worth a shot. Love his breeding and he's already won a big race traveling to Dubai from Japan. Apparently he is very much a colt and is dreaming of the breeding shed already.
I used to dream of the breeding shed.

My money is on Mohaymen. Put a futures bet on this horse back in March at 12to 1.

A ten horse exacta box will cost a lot more than $90.

I went with Nyquist only because I read he is the first two year old champion to come into the derby undefeated since Seattle Slew, and that is good enough for me. My exactas are 13-6/9/17

It's been a very long time since I made any pari-mutuel bets on horse (or greyhound) racing, but I think a 10 horse $1 quinella box would be $90. An exacta box would be a lot more.
"To determine the cost of a $1 exacta box take the number of horses you want to box and multiply that number by the number of horses in the box minus 1. A $1 exacta box of four horses would be calculated as 4 * (4-1) * $1 = $12, which equates to 12 $1 exacta bets."
10 x (10-1)= 90. I know I did it last year and lost! I place my bet at OTB in NY State.
