Fairground Black Gold 5

[JSwiss]

Approaching 400k. Does anybody know if they are going to have mandatory payout on LD Day or on the follow day - Closing Day/Easter Sunday?

I played it for the first time all meet on Sunday and hit it for about $1500 on a $40 ticket; the parlay was probably in the $600 range so its definitely starting to boost payouts to multiple winners I think.

From Jim Mulvihill (FG Media):



The only mandatory payout day will be closing day on Sunday.

Thanks for checking – hope you get a chance to play it!

If 4-1 ML second choice (and very logical) #10 Request a Puck wins nightcap at FG, the BG5 is gone. 3-1, 6-1, 5-1, 2-1, X sequence.

Would be stealing 416k.

That's unbelievable! Here's hoping it carries again!

2 takes it down also.

[JSwiss]

Close but no cigars. Saw the 2 was alive as well but the #10 being alive to it was crazy I couldn't believe a sequence hat should probably pay $800 was going to pay $416,000 if he won. All the payouts were crazy as even fave #8 was worth $4,000+ for that relatively easy sequence.

[JSwiss]

Yup $475k carryover must be paid put... Should be a huge pool

[Benny]

Yes sir. full fields all around 12 12 10 9 12 This should be very interesting to see what the final pool total will be. Any guesses ? $1-1.5 mil ? and NY bettors are shut out i guess b ecause of the dark day for the holiday !

[JSwiss]

Yes competitive races too... I hate that cheap horse marathon finale throws a real question mark in already difficult sequence

[JSwiss]

Yeah final 5 little bit of everything in sequence

I actually think you can get away with just 1 and 6 in the last.

I agree. I started with this race because Steve has it as a contest but depending on the other races I might add the 4.

[herkhorse]

so far my ticket is 1260.00

got to pare it down to around 200.

Does anyone have a strong opinion on the 9th. I could be 6 deep and not confident I will get through.

I am gonna roll the dice and single Graham in the last. I could live with being alive to just the 6 if I get there. Need to use plenty in the other legs. IMO.

He isn't a bad single at all. I personally think the horse will love 12 panels. My concern is that Mena chose the 1 instead of him. Aime is very sharp and the barn is cool with both jocks so it isn't that big of a deal but Mena's agent is very good.

Here are my thoughts:

8) 1,3,4,6,7,8,10 - nothing real strong here think you gotta spread

9) 2,3,8 - hoping 2 can settle behind speed and make a run...steadily improving... 8 gets back to dirt should fall into good trip

10) 3,9,10,12,14 - small lean to 3 he's got a lot of grass in pedigree...should get a great trip with main threats far outside

11) 3,11 - think 11 cutting back and already facing winners gives edge but 3 is main threat

12 6 - no strong opinion here think 6 goes fave but 1 and 4 get looks

[JSwiss]

Scratches are up:

8) 1, 12-16

9) 4,5

10) 5,13

11) 1(part of entry), 4, 6, 8, 13
