This rules!
 

Delaware, the first state to ratify the U.S. Constitution, will be the first state to offer bettors the chance to wager on which horse will finish last in a race. "Last" wagering, a new betting opportunity that track officials hope will stimulate pools, will make its debut at the Standardbred track Delaware Downs on Wednesday and could be in place for Delaware Park's opening day on April 18.

Racing officials are excited about the new wagering platform.

What???

Now if only someone would set up a wager where you have to pick the 1st and 3rd horses I'd be in business.

Pretty sweet, huh?

Racing comissions have always avoided wagers which could easily be, umm, "manipulated", and this one seems easily fixed.

I don't know what to think.

So very true...story of my life.

They do.

It's called "Win" and "Show".






:p

I hear ya...This weekend I stooped on down to the 2nd and 3rd exacta.

:p

I have been picking horses who come in last for years now.

Its called April Fools

I got the 2nd-4th duo covered.

I remember that scene, Funiculi Funicula, and Rodney driving a work van. Was a funny movie though.

That would go over real well in Louisiana.

This would never work if it were real. All the connections have to do is tell their jockey to not press the horse at all, and they can bet thousands of dollars on their own horse to finish last.

I think Scav is right here... APRIL FOOLS!!!! :eek:

I call that the imperfecta. It would be my favorite bet.

Often times this is actually the result of my win wagers anyway.
