The first last year had five and the third race had six and the pick 5 handled just shy of $1 million. I think everything will be OK.

I am not talking about handle and could care less about it because handle is there for ALL races on BC Day. As a bettor, I want large fields in the best bet available.

What is your concern, you wont get value on the bet now?

More combos makes it harder, and while I haven't seen PP's yet, I'm gonna assume that Flashback is gonna be 1/2 or 3/5 cause I don't even recognize the other names in the race.

well see how the parlay pays...you really have excuse not to hit it with a free square.

I guess the real issue I have is that the BC bitches about not having enough funds, yet they don't utilize the best betting day possible.

On the other side of that, I guess they really don't 'care' about the P5 because they have a minimal take on it with it being such a low takeout, so it actually makes some sense now from their perspective.

Besides that flaw, the card is usually awesome, but its just ridiculous they can't place the P5 in a better spot.

They have it as 9x5x13x10x10 and it could easily be 9x10x13x10x10. Hell, if they could have just had some flexible between days, they could have put a different race there.

And not to mention they are costing themselves money (less combos equals less bet equals less take)

Second year in a row an undercard stakes on BC Saturday has drawn a five horse field. Also only nine in the Juvenile Turf Sprint is kind of alarming.

The same race drew 5 or 6 in 2003, seems like the same old thing to me. There are way too many graded stakes anymore to actually have too many horses point for a 150k race.

Aren't there 13 in the $150k G3 Twilight Friday and 13 in the $150k Sen. Maddy Saturday?

It's worth noting that the first race on Saturday is a 2YO sprint going down the hill - 9 runners. Can you confidently use anything but the all button for that race? I think the value is there even with a Flashback free space.
