I took a shot in that pk 3 because of the 1/9 in the first and the short field in the 2nd. I singled the first and the second with all in the third/ The only problem I didnt use the 1/9 in the first. Took a shot at a nice play and it didnt work but I loved Frankles horse and thought he would go off about 3/1. He got bet down a bit but he was my key along with the 1/9 getting beat but all I did was clutter the floor. Not the first time and doubt if its the last time. If you play a 1/9 it is time to play those $20 and $50 pk3 if you are looking for a bigger pay. If the 1/9 was in the 2nd or 3rd leg it would have probably paid a bit more.

The 1st pick 3 is pretty typical of a pick 3 with a couple chalks in it(they only pay the win parlay.) The 2nd one is way low.People hide money in these pick 3 bets a lot.There really is no reason for a pick 3 (with decent paying horses) to pay less than a win parlay.They don't want their money to show up in the win pools.For these pick 3 bets to pay so low(like the one ending in the last race,)one of these horses in the pick 3 is being bet down(in the pick 3)to the equivalent of half their win odds.That is not the general public that does that(especially at a big track.)Believe me,the general public pretty much plays horses (in the pick 3) the same way they do in the win pools.The reason for the low pick 3 payouts(way under the win parlay) is inside money that people don't want showing up in the win pools.

I was sort of surprised they didnt take Billy's Echo down. Any time they have a chance to screw people out of a hitting a 30/1 shot they do. When I saw that there was an inquiry I was sure he was coming down and Yes Master was doing his best imitation of the Jeffersons... moving on up.
