Kentucky Derby 2019 day wagering menu, post times set

A new two-day Pick 6 that features six Grade 1 races, including the 2019 Kentucky Derby and Kentucky Oaks, highlight additions to Churchill Downs' Spring Meet wagering menu.

Along with the new $2 Oaks/Derby Pick 6, Churchill will also feature a $1.5 million guaranteed Pick 5 on Kentucky Derby day. The 50-cent Pick 5, arguably the fastest growing wager in the U.S., features a 15% takeout.

The Oaks/Derby Pick 6, which carries a $250,000 guarantee, has a mandatory payout with a 15% takeout.

The wager will begin Friday with the La Troienne, a 1 1/16-mile event for fillies and mares 4-year-olds and up, followed by the Kentucky Oaks run at 1 1/8 miles for 3-year-old fillies. Saturday’s races include the Humana Distaff for fillies and mares 4-years-old and up at seven furlongs; the $500,000 Churchill Downs for 4-year-olds and up run at seven furlongs; the Old Forester Turf Classic for 4-year-olds and up run at 1 1/8 miles on turf; and the 1 ¼-mile Kentucky Derby.

The wagering menu will also include the 20-cent Single 6 Jackpot beginning Saturday, opening night, before running through the entirety of the Spring Meet, including Oaks and Derby days. To win the entire Single 6 Jackpot, a player must have the only winning combination. If there are multiple winning combinations, 90& of the pool will be paid out and 10% will carry to the next day’s card. The Single 6 Jackpot takeout is 15%.

Head-to-head wagers, which were approved earlier this month by the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission, will not be offered this year.

The full race order will be determined on draw days. That's Monday for the Oaks and Tuesday for the Derby. Take a look at post times (all Eastern) and wagering menu below:
