i have a question about a show

Sort of off subject a bit.....
At the Los Al thoroughbred meet that concluded today, the min wager for the P-4 was raised to $1.00 from .50.
I'm curious if the handle for the P-4 went up or down noticeably...……..I would guess the handle went down.
In the past when tracks have lowered the min's on their multi-slotted wagers the handle has always gone up.
It might be a bit of a tricky read because Calif overall handle has gone up in the last year.
In terms of the .50 mins on P-3's and such, I always thought the reduced number brought in more chalkish type players...….strictly a guess,and I'm not really sure what that would mean for payoffs.
Maybe if the wager had three non double digit winners the under-pay would appear.
But if three healthy priced winners kick in I would guess the payouts would be more than fair.

Just read this @ Bloodhorse:
Los Al handle +4%.
P-4 handle +2.7%.
Not much of a difference considering Calif has more money going through the windows overall.

The $.50 pk 4 and pk 5 wager are the best values in racing, especially on big racing days or when there are full competitive fields. I especially love the $.20 pk 4 at woodbine and has paid out rather well imo. For some reason the $1 pk 4 makes sense at Los Al and works best than at any other track.

As far as Trifectas go I am not a fan of the $.50,

I would be in favor of a super5 bet for $.10
