It is entertainment.
Exactly.. It's a cheap lotto ticket and not a bad way to introduce neophytes to 'big game' multi-race wagering. It certainly wasn't going to hurt GP's non-existent established P6 play....

Exactly. I don't get the purist that bitch about it, it wasn't like they were playing it anyways, no one played it.

I don't think anyone was really bitching about it, but it's not a bet for horseplayers.

Today's result will add further intrigue...

Carryover goes to $31,500... BUT the 2 winning 6 of 6 plays get back a robust $5,370!...

Now, if you're playing your normal multiples or even more than usual, (192 = $19.20 for example), isn't $5,400 an OK return?

Interesting, eh?
