This year’s Kentucky Derby is on Sat. May 5th. But you can wager the day before the big race by visiting a nearby Suffolk OTB branch. Up for dinner and a drink AND a bet? Stop in at a Suffolk OTB Qwik Bet located in a neighborhood pub or restaurant. There's three in the Patchogue area! Jimmy's Pub is downtown at 350-5 E. Main St (654-9558). Dunton Inn is at 701 South Country Rd in East Patchogue (758-8940). And Cavanaugh's is just down the road in Blue Point at 255 Blue Point Ave (363-2666). If a full-service branch is more your style, head over to the Airport Branch in Bohemia (300 Knickerbocker Ave) or the Shirley Branch (6 Northern Blvd., Shirley).
If you are already a Suffolk OTB account holder, you can also advance wager on the Derby by Telephone (1-877- TEL-BETT/1-877-835-2388) or on the Internet (www.suffolkotb.com). Just click on 'Place Wagers' on the upper left-hand side of the home page.
