Every year they been fighting Kentucky Derby Day... the BIG THREE for star power (De La Hoya, Pacquiao & Mayweather). This year Mayweather and Mosley fought on Derby day but not against each other, and now Manny fights on the Belmont Stakes Day. Coincidence? LOL
Derby Day:
2006: De La Hoya vs Mayorga
2007: Mayweather vs De La Hoya
2008: De La Hoya vs Forbes
2009: Pacquiao vs Hatton
2010: Mayweather vs Mosley
2011: Pacquiao vs Mosley
2012: Mayweather vs Cotto
One more thing... 2005 it was the All-Time Classic (considered one of if not the greatest fight in recent boxing history)... as Corrales made a huge comeback to stop Castillo in the 10th round in dramatic fashion!!!
They seem to combine big fights in Las Vegas with major events such as the Kentucky Derby & the Belmont Stakes as those dates are predetermined way ahead of time. So why not get your average person to bet the race and bet the fight later that evening!

The results... strange as usual.
Anyhow the best two horses (IMO) came 1st and 2nd, which was nice for me. Atigun who I didn't like to even come in the top five came in 3rd. I was lucky as a girl who has no idea the difference between thoroughbred and harness liked Atigun because the Jockey's colors were the same as the horses (LOL). She won more than I did and bet less. I had Exacta 3-9 that paid nearly $16 for $1. She had Trifecta Box 3-9-4 for $120 (3 way tri is a 6 way combo costing $6 per $1 tri payout) and won $4,960 minus OTB charges and now taxes.I played $250 (all $1 tickets) Exacta 3-9 (and $50 9-3) which won me $3,925 - $50 - OTB... no taxes taken out on me as I did $1 tickets paying $15.70 each. Yes, I have to account for the winnings and pay my taxes, but not until next March!
BTW- If anyone unfamiliar with why someone would (either they seen someone, heard about it, or even saw it on a movie or show) request 250 $1 Exacta Tickets, instead of just betting 1 $250 Exacta Ticket... it all about the taxes (and a few other reasons).
