It has always been my experience that you chose the second leg after the first race was official, that half (or some other arbitrary percentage) of the pool was paid to people who got the first leg correct, and then the rest went to the bigger second leg payout. After the first leg is official you would go to the window, collect your winnings and get a ticket for the second leg at no extra cost. Perhaps NYRA is envisioning doing things differently than that, but that's what I would imagine.
