Something Is Wrong at Remington Park

Here are 2 links that discuss it:

New York began doing this in 2005. If this year's Travers had used the old payoff system, Bernardini would have paid $2.20 instead of $2.10 to place. On the other hand, Bluegrass Cat would have paid $2.40 instead of $2.50.

I didn't think it was supposed to affect win payouts, though.

Dun, does not effect win pools, only Place/Show pools. Canadian excuse is bogus here.

The other question that needs to be played is WHY is Rupert playing Remington Park? Even I, who tries to find tracks I have never played and play them to tell people I have placed a wager (Araphoe anyone?) wouldn't admit that I placed a wager in a non-stakes race at Remington

Good luck today guys
