Another $10k+ payoff in Calder P5
 

Just Day 2 of CRC meet, but two $11,000 P5 winners today on heels of three $13,000 winners Monday.

Monday sequence had a couple of nearly impossible winners, but today you had it go: $6.70-1 (4th choice), $5.20-1 (5th choice), $11.50-1 (6th choice), $2.40 (favorite) & $2.20 (favorite). Certainly a tricky ticket to build, but if this thing is going to keep paying like this, it will be worth attacking.

I haven't looked yet at how the HOL P5 is doing... I asked Rich Eng today about his thoughts on it so far. Anyone on top of it's early results?

the p5 on the 24th was a ridiculous 21,000 and everything else has seemed pretty chalky. id rather have it be the last 5 vs the 1st 5 for some fuller fields

The P5 at HOL in my opinion is nothing more than a faux bet to say that "we're doing something" for the horseplayer when really they aren't. Not to mention the small fields early and the fact that it's hurting other pools isn't good for the racetracks bottom line. Today's Pick 6 pool was just over $98k.

Not to mention that the consolation payoff is a joke. Last Friday it paid $3.85 and today it paid $10.30. They should either keep it on the first race, drop the P4, and make it $1 or put it on the final 5 races and keep it at .50¢. And while they're on it, they should drop the Quinella. The pools are $3-$5k per race for the bet.
