Gamblers will be treated with massive pools and a wide variety of wagering opportunities on Kentucky Derby week that will begin Saturday, April 29 at Churchill Downs.
New on this year’s wagering menu will be the debut of the $1 rolling Super Hi 5. If no one correctly picks the first five finishers, the bet will carryover to the next race. Previously, the Super Hi 5 was only offered on the final race each card. This will be a traditional Super Hi 5 bet and not a jackpot.
Kentucky Derby day will feature four Pick 5s, four Pick 4s and a mandatory payout in the 20-cent Derby City 6 Jackpot. Last year, the Pick 5 ending in the Kentucky Derby presented by Woodford Reserve handled $4.65 million while the Pick 4 handled $3.3 million and the Derby City 6 Jackpot handled $2.5 million.
