NYRA Late P5; Belmont debut Saturday (9/24)

[jms62]

Took in nearly a million bucks and to me looks like a HUGE success. I think especially on weekends with the Graded stakes action this bet will continue to be a huge success for them if they choose to continue it. Now if they will only revert the Pick 4 back to a buck so a 4 digit Pick 4 for is the rule rather than the exception.

i hope keeneland picks up on this

I'd also do away with the $2 Pick 6 and replace it with a .20 Rainbow 6. For Saratoga I d seed that at a millon bucks and buy some insurance until that is covered.

I really hope they keep this bet at Belmont. I am surprised they waited this long to do it, I doubt highly it will cannibalize the pk6 or pk4.

Maybe make the triple a buck again too. Triples pay nothing since they went to half a buck. Make the super a half a buck. Let the bingo players go play bingo . Surprised it took them this long to go late pick 5, but it should be here to stay

I used to play Supers on all Derby preps 3x6x6x6 ticket. Time was I'd hit 3 or 4 and be out for the meet. Stopped a couple years back as I could no longer be profitable due to the extra coverage people are getting at a dime and the payouts shrinking. I think these lower entry points are driving whales from the game. Seems people are still betting the same amount and getting double the coverage pushing prices down well below half of what they used to be. I plan on researching this over the winter.

[Pants II]

.20 cent super's and high fives.

$1 minimum pick 3, 4, 5, and 6

$2 minimum exacta's and trifectas for tracks that typically run 5-8 horse fields.

But all of this is just wishful thinking. The decision makers in this sport are similar in habits with sea turtles.

Monmouth started the 2nd p5,as well as the1stp5 years ago. They ought to makea 4/5 conso payoff too ; to make more churn for smaller guys.
