I am wondering if anyone has seen those numbers on a longer term basis? Like over a full meeting or historically over a period. I know there are lots of factors that imapct this, just curious what that relationship is overall and if it is somewhat consistant.

Thanks

I'd also love to see stats track v. track once the numbers are determined.

I took record of this sort of thing at Saratoga a few years back. The payouts are pretty consistent with the takeout difference between tracks. I've found in my betting that the average range of pick four prices is usually 150%-225% the win parlay. Extremely chalky or long bomb payouts can often pay less or more than this range of course.
