When NYRA announced the Empire 6, they also declared that there would be 2 mandatory payout days, namely Sunday August 18 and closing day on Monday September 2.

Perhaps they reasoned that having a mandatory payout day would itself greatly increase the handle, so 2 mandatory payout days would be even better. That was evidenced yesterday when at least $2,300,000 of new money was wagered into the pool. That much new money has the effect of dramatically diluting the benefit of the carryover amount, which I believe was $438,000.

I may have to take a shot at it on the next mandatory. $12,500 thereabouts yesterday not the stuff of which dreams are made, but more than decent. I might have tried yesterday, but was busy chopping down a dead cherry tree in my yard and trying not to have it crash down on my head. Had to do the Arkansas version of the Texas two step a couple of times to dodge the falling trunk. Chainsaws and their use make me very nervous.
