Happens.

typically when a heavy favorite wins leg 1 and a price horse wins leg 2.

Or the bet minimum is different.

The pick 3 and pick 4 are totally seperate pools. It can and does happen especially at tracks where the pools are small.

I've seen it happen at big tracks quite a few times. Don't pay enough attention to multi wins at smaller tracks. I think just about every single time I've ever seen it happen, a heavy favorite wins leg #1 and the longest price of the entire sequence wins leg #2.

Here were the payoffs with pools.

$2 Pick 3 (8-2-5) 3 Correct Paid $539.20 Pick 3 Pool $13,324
$2 Pick 4 (4-8-2-5) 4 Correct Paid $466.40 Pick 4 Pool $48,598

Agree with Drugs on the pattern which creates this.

Don't know if it means much, but the TVG guy had it- there were 166 winning $1 tickets. If just 40 people followed along with him for a buck, the payoff goes from $617 for $2 to the actual $466.

Given that it was one of the only tracks running, it is a possibility.

Even though the $26 horse was the longest shot on the board, he was very logical. He was just coming off a win 6 days earlier where he drew off and won by widening lengths going 6.5f. It was a conditioned claimer and this was an open claimer for the same price, so he was stepping up a tad, but not that much for this track (I could be slightly off on some of these facts, I'm going by memory which is not good). Even a dumbass like me included him without much thought.

I was stunned that he paid $26. I think it was more of a case of the $26 horse being drastically overlaid in the win pool but was used properly in the P4 pools.
