No show betting.

Bet #3 in current round. Bankroll = $110

$110 to show on Rachel Alexandra in the La Troienne


--Dunbar

Rachel finished 2nd and paid $2.10 to show. So the bankroll increases to $115.50.

On to Bet #4.


--Dunbar

Very sporting of Hollywood Park. A 6-horse race with no show betting.

--Dunbar

God she's beautiful!! She seems to get bigger and bigger...

Go Zenyatta!!!

I dont think they are in the business to have giveaways, unless maybe its bobbleheads

200 to show on silver timber in mcsorley

Bankroll is $115.50.

Another attempt at Bet #4: $115.50 on Rachel to show today at Monmouth.


Let's see if Monmouth will risk show betting in a 7-horse race. I don't remember seeing show betting cancelled in a 7-horse race before.


--Dunbar

Humongous minus pool, with 95% of the 1.2 million show pool bet on Rachel.

Rachel won and paid $2.10. The bankroll grows to $121 through bet #4. (I'm pocketing the extra 27 cents).

PS--I wrote that I didn't remember "show betting being cancelled in a 7-horse race before", but in this very thread there was an example of show betting being cancelled in 7-horse field.

Dunbar-

Del park race 9

Havre de grace 200 to show

5 horse field

Good spotting. A lot of people had the same idea. The WPS pools for the previous race totaled $60K. For the Havre de Grace race it totaled over $380K.

Did you happen to notice what % of the show pool was bet on HdG?

--Dunbar

I didn't. She was 1/9 so I am assuming nearly all of it.

Delaware park again Dunbar. 9th race 125k stake

Tar heel mom in a five horse field

It's been 3 years since my last "show parlay" pick, the above one on Rachel. That's not from lack of opportunities. But it was long enough to result in this thread finally being sent to the Archives. However, a thread can rise from the dead...

Princess of Sylmar in the Alabama today seems like a good choice to keep my "current" parlay going.

Bankroll = $121.

Bet #5: $121 on Princess of Sylmar in the Alabama

--Dunbar

Princess of Sylmar won and paid 2.10 to show. The bankroll grows to $127 through bet #5. (I pocketed 5 cents.)

I'll try to make the next bet in the parlay faster than I made this one!
