Absolutely a great idea. Charles Town had the wager in the late 70's. The handful of times I observed the payouts they seemed generous and I was intrigued. Before I could practice playing they ended the wager. I'm all for it.

Sounds exciting , especially with a nice 15% takeout. They used to have a wicked twin tri at the Rock (RIP)

This would be even better

As long as my bookie will take the bet, I'll play it.

Many dog tracks that I have been at years ago had a 'twin quin' (2 quinellas in back to back races) bet that seemed to be pretty popular...........I would certainly look at this but maybe at the expense of playing a rolling double.

An hour flat up Rt.38 from Lowell HS on a 10 Speed. Nice black Fuji. Cut after lunch...there by post. Had my own special parking spot in bottom lot near kitchen entrance. Sneak right in. Got "friendly" with girl working the bar who would drive Fuji and I back to the city at 6:00. Nice girl....good times.

Took her to Saratoga with me a few years later (The girl, not the faithful bike) to watch Shugs' Heavenly Prize devour Lakeway on the turn in the Alabama. You always remember your first (Saratoga visit, not the girl).

On a side note, you cannot ride a bike in the breakdown lane up 93. A state trooper politely informed me of this and then slowly tailed me as I went down the off ramp in Methuen, much to my chagrin, knowing that the early DD was going to be gone before my impending arrival.

Quite the degenerate.
