I'm thinking that the number of tickets alive to Yield Bogey should have split half the pool.... and the number of tickets alive to Blues Street should have split the other half...
why wouldn't that make sense??

I guess it would if that's how the rules were established. i hadn't thought of that option and it would be fairer. I was responding to the initial post which made a comapraison of the win pool odds which are meaningless in a multi-race pool.

but you're right. splitting it that way would be more equitable. now you just have to convince whomever writes the rules.
