Just to play the numbers game with you, if you divide that handle decrease by 53 programs (not counting the cancelled date), you have a daily shortfall of $611,000.

Now, take a look at the Daily Racing Form charts for the last couple of weeks to see the late handle on the Pick-4 and NYRABets Pick-5. Only on weekend dates do you approach that handle in the daily pools. The late Pick-5 is not a solution for this one on a daily basis.

Just sayin'.
I stand corrected. I thought it would have been more because of the great value the bet produces.
