Aren't there at least a couple hundred horseplayers in the entire country willing to pump some money into this pool?

Is any track going to think about lowering take when Ellis draws a whopping 25,000 with it's 4%?

btw, today's payoff on a 50c ticket was $6,012. Not bad for $23.80, $6.20, $14, $18.40. A 50c parlay would have paid $1188. The Pick-4 paid more than 5 times as much as the parlay.

most horse players cant even figure out the parlays or know what they mean, you post while spot on is probably greek to alot of people.
