Derby Day: is there a Pick-6 guarantee?
 
Does anybody know if there's a guarantee of the Pick-6 pool? I think I remember that in years past there was a $3M pool minimum.

I think your thinking Breeders Cup. CD might have 500K guarantee, but not really sure.

they have had guaranteed pick 6's in the past, but no where near 3mm as I believe the record for a KD pick 6 handle is about 2.7 mm. I don't think this year has a guarantee.

You're thinking of the Breeders' Cup. Nobody plays the Pick 6 in Kentucky.

They'll do $150k on Saturday in the Pick 6- but normally nobody plays it.

And there's no guarantee.

isn't twinspires dot com having a player's pool again this year. I think they are putting in 100k on derby day. They will probably cover at least 5% of the pool

I can guarantee I won't be playing the Pick-6 at Churchill on Saturday.

That should wrap this up.

I'm sure Jon White will have a $72 play that you could copy.
Unless you dont think POTN is a single.

Jon White is a smart guy. He will probably have better opinions that me this Saturday at Churchill.

Why rule it out so early?

Looks like you could have a good mix of strong singles and a few wide open races with shaky favorites.

Damn...this is impressive. Capping a card that doesnt even exsist yet.:tro:

What time are you on the show today?

If Phil is right and there is only 150,000 in the pic six, w/ 75,000 coming from the twinspires players pool, that's nuts. I mean why in the world would anyone throw their money into the players pool?

There will be way more than 150k. no doubt of that

Probably closer to 2 million ( +/- 600k)

EDIT: I just looked at the previous pools and saw they were in the 750k range.. the player's pool is a joke

2005 = Pick 6 Pool: $776,278
2006 = 441,558
2007 = 1,429,995
2008 = 676,018
