Well if the late pick 5 for NYRA Bets members only is a trial (based on timing), you would think or hope that this is a trial for some sort of Saratoga Del Mar crossover.

More ways to lose money. I'm all for it

I like this and think it makes great sense, I will play it for that reason.

Small difference, but what's the takeout? Belmont - 24% or LosAl - 23.68%

About $16 per $500 if I did that right

That takeout is excessive no matter how you slice it. wouldnt 20 be more reasonable ?

It's a loving term from Cesar Cedeno days as he was my favorite player ever. Altuve is my new favorite player

Wait, what?

There should be more of this across the country. if they are going to create post times as close as they do, this would a great way to utilize their stupidity

Would also recommend they pick races that are close together in post time. They picked the best races, which was fine and I certainly played it regardless of the gap, but most people's attention span is low so you tell them there's a power hour of a pick 4 and they're going to get involved. There used to be one on Wood/Bluegrass day that was fantastic.

In my case, usually the bet is over after 2 minutes
