Just looked in my wallet from this weekend in Vegas and found a 5 of 6 ticket from the Venetian for Saturday. Couldn't find any payoffs for the consolation, does this bet not pay for 5 out of 6? I was hoping to cash on my next trip.

I don't think they pay 5 of 6 because with the ten cent increment, im pretty sure it's been hit with multiple tickets every day other than when the jackpot was scooped.

Probably right, thanks.

5/6 only pays when there's 1 or 0 6/6 tickets. The only exception may be closing day.

I was afraid of that, I just looked up the rules and it says just that, bummer. Seems like a lot of players missed leg 2, including me.

has anyone looked at friday's card yet? it's ugly.

6 full fields with 5 of them having ae's. 4 maiden races.

i don't see a race in there where you could single a horse with confidence. pletcher's horse in the first leg maybe?

i was looking forward to betting this but as i look at the actual fields i think i'll probably limit myself to a smaller ticket versus betting at it seriously. that's a really tough sequence.

Super tough sequence.

I'm actually against the Pletcher off the long layoff, although I'd be an idiot to leave him off the ticket.

Every race is a headscratcher in and of itself.

IMO it's a manageable sequence. The toughest of the four maiden races is the first leg, so you can get a look at the board. Fogozano ran well against a tough field in his debut, so unless Pletcher's horse in the 11th is a rocketship, he could be a realistic single. I also think Nora's Song is clearly the horse to beat in the 13th and the 9th has a small group of logicals. I actually think the toughest race is the $6,250 claimer in the 10th. Plenty of horses with back races that fit and a murky pace scenario.

I looked it over for an hour last night. If it wasn't a 10 cent minimum with a monster pot, I wouldn't even think of tackling it. But, ill throw $40 at it and take my chances. Right now, Third Martini in the 9th and Nora's Song in the 13th are my possible singles.

I'm interested in seeing what the Darley filly is on the board, being a half to Royal Delta she's going to take some $.

The 8th and 10th aside, which are very difficult races, the 11th seems wide open to me.

I agree Fogozano ran well, but not single worthy for me at least, especially with a Pletcher firster in there. They paid 260k for Artic Bear last April, which is a lot for an offspring of Political Force. If you can look past the debut, his work pattern looks alright and he could improve enough to win. Lochte was a 475k yearling so it wouldn't totally shock me to see him come out running although his trainers runners usually need one. Herd Mentality appears to be working well in the morning for a trainer who can get a horse to win first out. Best Man did everything but win first out, for a trainer who is good going turf to dirt and the dam was 2nd in the Gallant Bloom on dirt and finally even Maximum Impact isn't impossible, especially because Dennis Manning loves to put a horse over who has been working in Ocala.

after all that, you're probably right and Fogozano will win and pay $5 but that race is giving me fits.

At first glance, it looked impossible.
