More combos makes it harder, and while I haven't seen PP's yet, I'm gonna assume that Flashback is gonna be 1/2 or 3/5 cause I don't even recognize the other names in the race.

well see how the parlay pays...you really have excuse not to hit it with a free square.

I guess the real issue I have is that the BC bitches about not having enough funds, yet they don't utilize the best betting day possible.

On the other side of that, I guess they really don't 'care' about the P5 because they have a minimal take on it with it being such a low takeout, so it actually makes some sense now from their perspective.

The BC doesn't have the same concerns that tracks have. The individual races will all handle well, with or without a Pick-5. However, the Pick-5 works for racetracks in that it also draws more attention to the earlier races, which have the lowest handles. This is not a concern on BC days.

That being said, given the overall field sizes in this Pick-5, I would think the possibility of a free square will make an almost unplayable sequence, reasonably playable, which will help pool size.

of course they don't, which explains why they keep having the races in cali, and ignore the tracks that have more attendance and handle.

I find it quite a hopeful race. In that I hope it thins out the crowd leaving after the 10th race.
