yup, and you could pick the exact order of finish for ALL entrants...(quick pick as an option)...or every other number in the order of finish...
this could be incorporated right within the quick draw games. it would also break the monotony of the quick draw balls floating up on that screen all day, every day.

And you wouldn't step on OTB toes because the traditional bets would still be reserved for the OTB/Online businesses.

we don't need anyone other than NYRA because we fans have lots of ideas to separate folks from their money in a fun way. and see the horses get their fair share from the handle

If they tried to sell folks on the idea of playing numbers using horses instead of ping pong balls it would be great. Lets say they hook up with the lottery and the numbers are from the last race of the day at NYRA. All bets are superfectas. You might get a few people who go home and watch the race to see what happens and of that group a few might find it interesting enough to try and find out about racing on it's own merit.
The plus for horseplayers is that there would be that much more uninformed money in the pools.

I like alot of the ideas in this thread. I remember this old lady when I lived in PA that would sink $50-100 into the lottery every day. I ask her once about betting the horses, and she said that she only liked the numbers games. No real thought into it.

People like that could help the pools, and would even have fun watching the horses...
