![]() Seeing over $7MM dumped into the Hollywood Pick 6 pool in one day makes me wonder why tracks don't try offering more frequent, large guaranteed pools.
I still say Street Sense is only 50/50 to race again, by the way. |

Read Crist's piece from last week after the triple track P6 day... He addresses a tangental element of this discussion.

I've seen it happen at Calder at least once. It was like eliminating the takeout. However, no one knows when it will fall short until all the bets are in, so you don't know when you have an advantage. It usually falls short on a day of very inclement weather. |

It just turned into a big rich man's lottery. It happens in almost every State lottery. Once that amount starts turning over a number of times, everyone and their mother plays. But in racing the advantage goes to the guys that can cover the permutations. Hope for chalk on these days. |

Also, I refuse to take actual action on my Street Sense prediction because I swore not to bet on horses until Travers Day.....unless there is a big Pick 6 carryover. |

![]() When it comes to guaranteed pools I look at em Like I would a guaranteed pool in Poker like an online tourney
It lets you know how much is going to be in it while it could also be more. So take it with a grain of salt I say.

(Beyer's latest column) Big jackpots are racing's best stimulant By ANDREW BEYER WASHINGTON - It is easy to cite evidence that American Thoroughbred racing is in moribund condition. Attendance at great tracks is often pathetic; when 3,000 people rattle around cavernous Belmont Park, the atmosphere is dispiriting. Public interest and media coverage of the sport has dwindled for all but a few big races....

More than that. When you hit 6 of 6, you also have 5 of 6 one time for every losing horse on your ticket. So, if you play a 3x3x4x2x2x3 Pick 6 ticket, and hit 6 of 6, you also have 5 of 6 11 times. |
