The Pick 5 proved the better opportunity today.

By far the two biggest favorites of the sequence both won at odds-on. The other three, more wide open races, were all won by 2nd choices.

The thing paid $1,896 for $2 -- and you didn't even have to sign for it (let alone have anything withheld) because it was offered in a 50-cent minimum increment.

In the Pick 6 sequence -- you had to find a pair of horses like Shrug and A Day Away in the sequence, that made up a 74-to-1 double. Two very hard horses to have in tandem without putting in a large ticket.

The P5 pool had over $2.7 million in it -- just because the minimum is 50-cents doesn't mean a person or syndicate wishing to put several hundred dollars or more into it has to spread like a dope and make an expensive ticket fishing around.

These Pick 5 opportunities like today are among the best situations in all of horse racing -- they just VERY RARELY come along -- because a 50-cent P5 is very, very hard to carry. Unlike a Pick 6 which is going to carry with a much, much, much greater frequency.
