How much money did Gulfstream lose tomorrow. Certainly they could have bought an All/All/All/All/All/All to force a carry

Ya. I'm kind of amazed with how this was botched on several levels. . . Good for the multi-millionaire that hit it, though. Not like $6 million getting sucked out of the horseplaying economy will have any impact on handle.

It is an interesting idea Jim but I would have to think that it would be illegal for them to do so. Seems to me it would be pool manipulation and fraud. People bet their money into it thinking they at least have a shot to take it down.

I see your point ,Point ;)

Based on those finger-nails ... if I told people around here that the ticket was mine, they'd believe it. "Dr. Witch Nails" is the nickname that some of the gamblers at PID call me.

As clever as it was For Gulfstream to set things up for Monday, including making the pick 6 sequence difficult, they should have also tried to make the Sat and Sun pick 6 sequences as simple as possible.
Congrats to the ticket holder(s) in Ohio, who took a pretty big risk putting together a ticket that expensive. Lots of disappointed bettors out there tonight.

Palm beach Florida not ohio

It's not really a big risk for a guy with pockets that deep. He basically bought the whole sequence because he could.

Frost King 05-25-2014 07:02 PM

He basically dutched the two horses for $3800 each

Congrats to the winner. Hell of a stunning development.

What a game....

Stranger than fiction..

Dan Borislow the winner so you know the money ultimately will find it's way back into circulation.. One way or another. Congrats to him on a clever play.

I know people are disappointed, but he probably did a lot of us a favor.

True, I only lost $6 on my twinspires $100 players pool investment!

ahh yes........ for me, probably so ;)

During his phone interview, he said he actually bought two separate tickets for $7,603.20 each.

At the Palm Beach Kennel Club, the tote machines don't spit out tickets larger than 10k so he had to play it that way. He was invested for over 15.2k. He said he only went after it so hard today, because his sons graduation party was tomorrow from 1PM to 5PM, and he couldn't play it.

So he had ALL's in five of the six races, and was four deep in the other.

Gulfstream shot themselves in the foot by not making this sequence as easy as possible. Tracks generally like to card the deepest and most competitive races in the P6 sequence and sometimes will even move a Graded stakes race out of a P6 sequence if it's not a competitive looking event.

A clever thing to do would have been to let a race or two go with a 4-horse field and put it in the sequence. A race or two that otherwise wouldn't even fill.

This is extremely accurate.

I don't know many of us who can afford to drop that much on a bet like the Rainbow. Money did find it's way back

3kings 05-26-2014 07:45 AM

I will be interested to see what the handle is today on pools other than the P6. A lot of people already spent a great deal of time on the card.
