Del Mar "Guaranteed Pick 4"

[jnunan4759]

I think it was a PR snafu and ended up with DM looking anti-player. The ended up going over the guarantee anyway, even with the scratches.

These are merely designed to attract interest in the pool and I've never seen a pool not exceed it's guarantee. It just doesn't happen because they have them down to a science.

What happened yesterday was the track got the "willies" and bailed right out to avoid even the possibility they might have to supplement the pool.

Wouldn't be surprised to see all these include fine print going forward. It's a thinly-veiled con. If I like the Pick 4, I play it. If it's a big day, it will have a big pool. I'm never going to get any track money in them.
