"The dates:

Pool 1 - Nov. 28-Nov. 30

Pool 2 -- Feb. 6-Feb. 8

Pool 3 -- Feb. 27-March 1

Pool 4 -- March 27-March 29"

Pools will close on Sundays this time around. Last year's experiment with closing on Saturdays wasn't successful.

Yes. Most ADW's will offer the KDFW.

Pool should never close and you should simply be able to lock in at whatever the price is at the time of wager...expanded interests would do wonders also. Current setup is pretty much a joke

The pool sizes on things stink which becomes a catch 22 with nobody wanted to bet heavy with fear of crushing odds and with no large betting you don't get the big pool...

That expanded interest would result in a loss in profits for Churchill downs. A horse that was 99-1 early and ends up 6-1 will not be good for churchill downs when they have to end up paying out to people who had it at 99-1 in the same pool.

imagine that happening everyday at the track. it would be at the tracks disadvantage.
