As long as the last race isn't the usual 2 yr old MSW with half the field first timers it could be 'capable but if it ends up a 16 horse field of vestile virgins going 5.5F on the water holding astroturf they have now you might as well break it down as a single slot pull......love the Hammer on Friday and might have to name a charity after the man if he simply has the BC allow colored saddle cloths or the trakus device next fall but this wager seems far more about blind luck than "cappin if the last race runs the groups we've seen in the recent past......

It's all about another way to suck 20% out of the betters pocket and we all have the right to pick the wagers we want to make. I will pass on this one along with the place pick 9.
A seprate pool for a .10 cent wager would be intresting to see the pool total, but the idea really sucks.

These wagers seldom make it to the OTBs and Internet Wagering programs.
 Very funny(or not) the time I focused a day on the grandSlam wager, walked into the NY OTB and the teller thought I wanted baseball on one of the TVs  This will definitely favor those willing to invest a lot. Without thinking too hard on this , I would guess a good strategy would be similar to a superfecta with more reliance on using 2 horse keys. That is 2 horses that you expect to both hit the top 5, and then shifting them around in different slots on your multiple wagers. My guess would be that initially there will be some huge payoffs and carryovers, and then the sharks will circle in and start taking them down in greater numbers. Will post some selections if I get a chance.

Obviously this bet was developed to encourage carryovers. Although it is of no interest to me, I am happy to see anything new in the betting format. No one is holding a gun to to your head making you bet this. I believe all bet types should be offered on every race. The bettor can then determine where he wants to place his dollars.

I think it's ingenious....I'm not going to play it simply because I've played key/ part wheel tris that have it gone sometimes 6-7 horses deep for show - fairly successfully - and I don't think I've ever picked all 5 horses in a tri play if you were to extrapolate the show play out from 3 to 5 places...In addition to the enormous cost...I guess you'd have to have a strong key and a couple of opinions for second or nothing...easier to do in a tri that a super5...Granted I ususally only play these types of bets with large fields (10 +)...But for someone with a large bankroll looking for immediate gambling satisfaction - it's hard to beat...P6 type payouts in 2 minutes, not 3 hours

People, it's certainly better than the Over/Under "wager", no?
You'll get excited the first time there's a 250k carryover.
