As the newest of the big multi race wagers, the P5 became the value takeout wager. Before the seasons started, Indiana dropped the P5 to 11.99% hoping to have the lowest rake, but weeks later CBY announced the 10%. NYRA has the 15% late P5 with the added enhancement of excluding the CAW teams.
The odd part of this scenario of course is that big multi-race sequences don't particularly need the hyper aggressive low takeout the way higher churn wagers like WPS and smaller multi-race/multi-horse bets do.
Emerald this year crafted 15% superfectas. I tracked it for the first week and it seemed to be having a positive effect, but small sample under weird conditions, etc.
