How many horse players that you can recruit are looking at the reduced potential handle vs the difficulty of hitting this and not bothering? Speaking for myself if I had the opportunity I would not play it as it exists. I know I hit this bet about 5% of the time the way I play it and dont partcipate in pools less than 200K nor short fields which has kept me out of Santa Anita this year. But this is my thought process and it is not like I haven't been wrong in the past and certainly will be wrong in the future.

The bet is actually available anywhere in NY State, and not only to NYRA Bets customers, for what it's worth. If you want to play it out of NY State, you need to bet through NYRA Bets.
Most Saturday's at Saratoga, maybe every one when it doesn't rain, has handled better than Stars&Stripes Day in the past, in case you're interested. Regardless, it's a big discussion, and surely there are pluses and minuses on both sides.
