BC Wagering Menu

i'm sure they don't want to cannibalize the pick 6 pool with an all bc pick 5.

the same logic may have applied to the pick 4 on a card where only 5 races are glamor. if they started it 1 race after the pick 6, a lot of casual fans (read: me) might have passed on the "just in case i'm a genius" lottery tickets in the pick 6 in favor of a bigger all bc pick 4.

i think they like the idea of more dumb money chasing the pick 6. can you imagine the cash dump saturday if there's a carryover? and even if there isn't, you know the friday pick 6 will be a headliner.

as a fan it sucks, but it probably makes sense from a bottom line perspective.

I'm fine without an all BC P5 assuming they run the BC Juvy Filly Turf first but I really wish they had a P4 ending with the Ladies Classic. If they are promoting that as the feature race then treat it as such.

they know it's a feature race regardless. the next question is "how do we maximize handle?"

i think the structure makes sense if you look at it from that perspective.

i hated the 2 day format. and calling the distaff anything but that.

i think a bc race at 1.5 miles on anything but turf would be a terrible idea. they stretched the bad idea out.

yet i already took friday off work.

they know us better than we know ourselves.

Not me.

Between the unknown with Pro Ride, the racing menu, the wagering menu and the complete lack of intelligent thought, I'll go to work. Business as usual. I'm still not sure if I am even going to wager Saturday.

They lost this degenerate.
