I think I would rather see them have an early/midday/late DD then rolling DD's, to keep some of the money within the P3 pools instead

i like them. we don't get them in ny. the low pool ones are the best to hit if you got a good longshot or two is even better. its the reason i bet the mid day one here the most. the mid day double gets ignored, at saratoga i've caught some great ones when i had the right overlay. the pool maybe low but you get a good portion of it with the right combo.

I like it, as sometimes I like a price horse that's not in the standard daily doubles. That way you can hedge a pick 3 with the double and still come out ahead.

someone want to tell me how a double of Pletcher/Douglas, then Calabrese/Catalano pays $47.40??????? What a steal!!!
