Quinella at Belmont?

[jnunan4759]

I think most of the people at my OTB don't even know the Quinella exists in NY. I will play it but only when I'm looking at an exacta-type bet and I like to look at the combos and "shop" for a better price. It's usually not a great deal of difference, but it all helps. I also find that the Quinella payouts fluctuate less. Probably because it's a smaller pool and bigger money can alter the EX payouts late.

It's probably more popular at Saratoga than anywhere else. I know a bunch of $2 people who play it.

I'm kind of surprised they've kept it this long, it's an old bet. I would think it's one of, if not the single, smallest pools.
