MELT JULEP SUPERFECTA
Will Simpson photographs the 2024 Kentucky Derby.
In horse racing the superfecta is a bet where you guess the first four finishers of a race in order. The payout for the superfecta at the 150th Kentucky Derby, this year, was $8,254 for a $1 bet. The week of derby, my dad spent hours consulting a big binder of printouts about the horses running. We pooled money together for an intricate superfecta wager—which we lost. Instead of betting on any of the other races, I walked around Churchill Downs and maxed out two different cameras, film and SD cards completely spent.
