The Kentucky Derby betting exotic options include the daily double which usually is the Kentucky Oaks on Friday to the Derby on Saturday. Other Kentucky Derby betting exotics include the pick three, pick four and pick six. Kentucky Derby betting pick three’s can sometimes have the Derby as the first, second or third race since the Derby may not be the final race of the day at Churchill Downs. The Pick Four is the final four races of the day at Churchill Downs and will include the Derby while the Pick Six is usually the final four races of the day.
