Easy sequence or bad races?

A mixture of both. You mentioned earlier about the smallish fields early in the sequence and tough favorites. I agree.

The first race of the sequence is key to this thing being hit, imo. On the day the jackpot was scooped, the guy hit the all button in the first 3 races and was lucky enough to catch the 50-1 in leg 1. It's big to catch a price in that leg because that's the leg that everybody gets to see how the horses are being bet. (Example...on Saturday, Rosario, on the 7, won the first leg on a horse that was bet down to 3-1 from a 20-1 morning line. The horse DNF in his only attempt prior. I think that if the race was the 2nd one of the sequence and people were not given the chance to see how much the horse was being bet, that a portion of the people who included the horse would have omitted from the ticket altogether. Instead, 440k+ tickets were still alive after first leg and that number quickly became 21k once the 25-1 romped in the second leg)

I personally love throwing a $200-$300 ticket at this thing twice a week when I feel the favorites are vulnerable.

Chopping Twilight Eclipse off the ticket at the last moment STILL stings when I think about it. He scared the life out of me once I saw him in the post parade and he certainly exploded in the stretch. Was hoping he ran off a little TOO much in the post parade as JJ was trying to stranglehold him, but I guess he was just THAT fit.

It will obviously be a VERY advantageous betting situation on closing day if a seven-figure carryover is forced out on a dime increment bet.

I'm sure they're going to put the six biggest fields they can in the sequence.

Hopefully there is at least one very solid stand-out big favorite in there.

I'd rather try and take a shot and hit the thing five or six different times for a dime, than spread way out in each race with a very expensive ticket and make merely a good profit that way if I can hit it doing that.
