Great fun for your Derby Party

Bring the fun
of the track to your backyard with
Backyard Bookie

No Kentucky Derby party is complete without some sort of 'gambling' on the event. There is much that you can do without employing the services of a bookie, illegal in most states, and still capture the fun of betting on the horses. These ideas below have been used for years at Derby parties across the country, and, in many states, as long as no one makes a profit off of the wagering, they're not considered illegal gambling!

  • Put all of the names of the horses in a hat and mix them up. Everyone pays a designated amount, say $1, to pull a name out of the hat. When the race is complete, the person that has the winning horse collects the pot. Or, offer a percentage of the pot for the first place horse, a smaller percentage to the second place horse, and an even smaller percentage to the third place horse.
  • Create a sheet of paper or a poster board with a large block for each horse in the race. Have everyone at the party pay a designated amount to write their name in their favorite horse's box. They can do this for one or more horses and they can also enter their name under a horse more than once. More than one person is allowed to put their name under the same horse.
    At the end of the race, take all of the money divided by the number of bets on the winning horse and distribute that percentage of the pot to each person who chose the winning horse.
  • Run your own betting window with a home pari-mutuel betting software program. With one of these programs, you can take win, place, show, exactas, and other exotic bets just like they are taken at the track. The software calculates the odds based on the bets placed at your party -- so you don't run the risk of losing money. With some products, you can set the software up to hold back a percentage for your favorite charity.
    One of the highest rated software products in this category is Backyard Bookie. You can purchase it for your party for as little as $19.95. Click here for more info.
  • Run a horse 'auction'. Create a grid on a large piece of poster board with four columns as shown below. Label column 1 'Horse Name' and place each horse's name down the column, one in each row of the grid. Label column 2 as Win, column 3 as Place, and column 4 as Show.
    Start off the bidding for the 'show' (or third place) position with the first horse. Run the bidding just like an auctioneer would -- you know, 'Going once, going twice' and all that jazz. The highest bidder for the first horse has his or her name placed in the Show column on the first row, along with the amount bid (use whole dollars only). Collect the money from the highest bidder and then repeat the process for each horse down the column for the 'show' position. Once every horse in the show position has been bid on, total up the 'show' column.
    Repeat the above paragraph for the 'place' (or second place) position. Then repeat for the 'win' (or first place) position.
    After the race is run, the person who bought the horse in the 'win' column that actually wins the race wins the total amount bet in the 'win' column. The person who bought the horse in the 'place' column that actually came in second wins the total amount bet in the 'place' column. And, likewise, the person who bought the horse in the 'show' column that actually came in third wins the total amount in the show column.

Tampa Bay Derby: As the road to the 147th Kentucky Derby rolls along, US Racing looks back at some history of many of the prep races that now offer qualifying points to Run for the Roses at Churchill Downs on May 1.

By Margaret Ransom

Since it was first contested in 1981, the Tampa Bay Derby (G2) has produced two winners of the Kentucky Derby (G1) — Street Sense – who won – captured the Derby in 2007 and Super Saver – third in this prep – won the Derby in 2010.

Make sure you bet on the Kentucky Derby. That's because betting on the Kentucky Derby is a great way to get a good return on investment. Here, are the best online horse racing betting sites, based on. Put all of the names of the horses in a hat and mix them up. Everyone pays a designated amount. Kentucky Derby betting tips By the time the Derby rolls around, there will be a couple of clear cut favorites, as well as plenty of opinions on how the race will go down. You can just bet on the favorite or rely on. 2 hours ago  After a year of an entirely new setting for the Triple Crown Series, the Kentucky Derby is back on its regular schedule. There’s a lot of anticipation with the upcoming race this following weeks.

It has, however, produced a significant number of Derby starters and on Saturday a field of 12 sophomores, led by Frank Fletcher Racing’s Sam F. Davis Sakes (G3) winner Candy Man Rocket, will seek to improve on the Run for the Roses statistics.

The 1 1/16-mile race is sponsored by Lambholm South, a thoroughbred nursery and training center in Florida. American financier and businessman Jack Dreyfus founded Hobeau Farm in the 1960s and the facility was purchased by longtime horseman Roy S. Lerman in the mid-2000s and added to the previous Lambholm South facility once known as Allen Paulson’s Brookside Farm. Lerman opened Lambholm South in 2000 and it’s been one of the more successful operations in the Ocala area.

Tapwrit won this race in 2017 before going on to win the Belmont Stakes (G1) and Verrazano won the Tampa Bay Derby before winning the Wood Memorial and Haskell Invitational in 2013. Two years ago, Tacitus won the Tampa Bay Derby before taking the Wood Memorial (G2) and finishing third in the Kentucky Derby. He also set the stakes record for the 1 1/16-mile race when he logged 1:41.90.

Last year, King Guillermo stunned the field and posted a 4 ¾-length upset at odds of nearly 50-1 before finishing a game second to Nadal in the Arkansas Derby (G1). The Uncle Mo colt, who is owned by former baseball player Victor Martinez and his Victoria Ranch, hasn’t won a race since and spent most of last year on the sideline, including being scratched from the Derby [Sept. 5] due to illness. King Guillermo is set to run in the Santa Anita Handicap (G1) on Saturday.

In Saturday’s Tampa Bay Derby, the same connections will send 15-1 outsider King Of Dreams off a maiden victory at Gulfstream on Jan. 30.

How

The Tampa Bay Derby offers “Road to the Derby” qualifying points of 50-20-10-5 to the top-four finishers.

Six jockeys – Daniel Centeno, Eibar Coa, Richard Migliore, Pat Day, John Velazquez, and Jose Ortiz each have ridden two winners, while trainer Todd Pletcher has saddled five winners, including four of the last eight (Limehouse, 2004; Verrazano, 2013; Carpe Diem, 2015; Destin, 2016; and Tapwrit, 2017).

Five winners of the Sam F. Davis, the traditional prep for this race, have gone on to win the Tampa Bay Derby — Phantom Jet (1987), Speedy Cure (1991), Marco Bay (1993), Thundering Storm (1996) and Burning Roma (2001).

Heavy rain is expected in the Tampa area on Saturday with high temperatures in the mid-60s. The Tampa Bay Derby is one of five big stakes races – four graded — on the card and will be race 11 with a post time of 5:25 p.m. ET.
