They will either be on or off... Or some combination of the two.

If they want a triple digit carryover for Sunday - all they need to do is take the last two races off of the turf after the sequence starts.

Even if the weather is nice ... why not keep pulling two races a day and forcing carryovers until we get like a $5 million carryover? That would be fun. There's nothing to stop it from happening. They have a rule that gives them power to make a carryover anytime they want one.

And I'm not saying they would - nor would doing so help them - even today it didn't help despite the fact it manufactured a carryover for a tomorrow.

But does anyone not see how this is hands down the worst rule - perhaps in the entire history of horse racing?

I'm really starting to wonder about you guys if no one else sees how horrible this rule is.

Very, very unlikely there's anything on turf beyond the stakes and the MOW will almost certainly be Gio Ponti-less.

There shouldn't be a carryover.

$2 Pick 6 (5-5-8-12-ALL-ALL) 6 Correct Paid: $7.60

How does that only pay $7.60 for $2 even with the bet basically reduced to a Pick 4?

So?

That payoff posted everywhere is obviously not right. No way in hell is there a carryover.

Believe it has to do with the final two races coming off the turf later in the day as they are ALL-ALL in the P6.
