Turf sprints are the future.
and
Two 3 year old stakes dirt route races back to back is a brilliant move!

If your bet wins it’s impossible that it pays anywhere near the two examples you provide.

In 2015 the second longest shot on the board finished second and the second betting choice was off the board.

Last year the winner was 13-1 and derby winner off the board.

I’m not criticizing your approach but want you to have realistic expectations.

Maybe I’m doing my math wrong. Isn’t that more than $15?

Default Question

Is the late pick 4 on Preakness day a guaranteed 1M?

even better!...and I don't care if its forty bucks for that prize....

2017....8162
2016...317
2015...1906
2014...174 lowest payout is + $134
2013...1817
2012...425
2011...3016

and on and on and on.....could there be a S'fecta in the last 20 years in the Preakness that paid less than $40? I don't have time for that search.

I don't see how it's a bad bet and I am betting it and I will win!

Haha. No biggie. I’m always messing up my math on my bets. Luckily I normally figure it out before I hit the window. Or these days, TVG.

I'm not suggesting that it's a bad bet, but...There are 40 ways for you to win and 1,640 ways for you to lose.

Pimlico is going to destroy Gulfstream’s record for liberal use of the term “0 MTP” today!
