Del Mar "Guaranteed Pick 4"

[pointman]

It is comical when people completely ignore questions to which the answers logically undermine their arguments and continue to try to push a nonsensical position instead of just admitting that logically they are wrong.

Lack of full fields allows them to pull the guarantee? jms has completely shot that argument. Further, go to their website and try to find where it says that. What other grounds do they have to pull it? Is there an asterisk next to the word guarantee anywhere? Is it a guarantee when they have conditions where they can pull it?

I am amazed that people are not only willing to be slapped in the face by the track, they are willing to take it and then support the track for doing it.

Exactly.

I can recall a number of times where NYRA has not met the minimum and filled the pool with the guarantee. You are no doubt correct Nick.
