100K pick 4 payoff last Saturday @ Hollywierd
 

Did anyone see that 100K pick 4 payoff at Hollywood last Saturday? I remember someone said they have small payoffs due to small fields at Hollywood. Maybe in the past years and during the week but the weekend cards are usually full competitive fields. The pick 4's have been paying nicely. Also on Sunday Gary Stevens was a guest analyst on TVG and gave out a 50 dollar pick 4 ticket that returned 3300. Gary has given out a few pick 4 tickets in the short time he's been an analyst there. The jockeys are probably the only ones I'd listen to on TVG. Some of the other analyst can't even pick their own noses!

I always like to try to figure if I could of had that big payoff. I did play the pick 4 that day and had the 30-1 shot in the third leg but not the 60-1 in the first leg. However when I was constructing the ticket I thought about going all in the first race however my ticket would have costed 520 bucks because of the 14 horse field in the first leg. That was way to steep for my pk4 budget however I guess it would have been worth it!!

What's the largest pick 4 payout you've hit?
I hit one for 4400 and one two weeks ago twice for 2500. I have been alive for an 12,000 payoff but it didn't come through....:{

I saw it. There was a guy on ESPN that said he hit it for $2. You should look at the thread, to me it was funny. There were some holes in his story that he didn't address.

I hate Hollywood Park from a betting standpoint, but I enjoy going there when I get out west.

Biggest pick 4 I have ever hit was one that paid $600 for $2, which I had $10 straight on. The horses:

Stay, John Terranova 7/1
Nothing Flat, Nick Zito 4/1
Some sprinter trained by Wesley Ward, forgot his name 3/5
Take Charge Lady, Ken Mcpeek 6/5

........ holywood on friday nights has some good deals on beer and food, i just cant handle the traffic getting down there......... plus the ladies arent too bad either:rolleyes:

"I hate Hollywood Park from a betting standpoint"

I hear that from allot of people. Why? Is it the short fields as some would point out (but not lately).

I do very well at Hollywood however I've been playing there since they started simalcasting. I first starting going to the races in the San Francisco bay area at GG and bay Meadows but as soon as they started simalcasting I started playing So. Cal tracks. I guess since I've been playing there for 15 years I'm comforable with the trainers, owners, jocks, track bias, ECT. For me I have a hard time with Belmont. I always blame it on those damn NY Breds!

BTW- Nice hit on that 10 dollar strait pick 4. I played a 15 dollar pick 4 on the early pick 4 on Sunday. I looked at those races and it was chalk in 3 out of 4. In the other race it was a 6 horse field going a mile and a half on the turf. I only liked 2 horses so I put them both in and the 5-1 shot beat the even money shot. The Pick 4 paid a monster 39 bucks but I had it 15 times on a 30 dollar ticket. That was about the only thing I hit this weekend.

**** playa, you need to release some of those h.p. plays;) ;)

I usually post a ticket for each pick 4 (early and late) Friday nights card at Hollywood although this weeks bombed! You can't win them all.

BTW- Alysheba is one of my Favorite horses!! He was probably the horse that got me hooked on this sport.

Well,I had hoped somebody had written about this,but it ain't gunna happen.This $3300 p4 that Stevens hit is way to low a payoff.In the last race,that 10 got pounded in the p4. They left the p3,double,and win pools alone(they paid what they normally would for an 18-1 horse in that 9th race.)The p4 got played so hard with that 10,that it paid as if the 10 horse was a 9-1 shot.)The pool was about 480k.For this combo,12-1,even,9-1,and 18-1 there would normally be about 60 tickets (each paying about $6500/1,)but in this case there was roughly double that many winning tickets(each paying $3300/1.)I think that somebody bet 15-20k in the p4 (singling the 10 horse .)As you can see,the favorite exploded from the gate,and was well ridden by a fantastic speed jockey(Garcia,)but this 10 horse ran him down(not a lucky win....a very well meant horse.)

By the payout, that couldn't have been at a NYRA track... if it was, the payout would have been $300 for $2! Anyone else ever notice that? I love playing P-4's, but they always seem to pay lower than you'd think at NYRA tracks.

It absolutely was at a NYRA track. It was 3 summers ago at Belmont.
And the Wesley Ward horse I couldnt think of before was Dr. Jahilli, excuse the spelling.

Really!? I'm surprised based on the payout.. and when and where did Take Charge Lady run at a NYRA track? I can't remember her racing up here.

OK, I can't read... Belmont.. Huh, don't remember that.
