Default Philadelphia area Turf Club Preakness oddity: No Superfecta Wagering

Hello all,

A close friend of mine who hasn't played in years went to a local Turf Club here on Preakness day and saw signs saying "No Superfecta betting on Preakness".

I asked him if they meant that they were not honoring the 10 cent minimum available on track at Pimlico, but he said they weren't allowing any superfecta wagering. This is at the Oaks location.

Has anyone else heard about this, or what the rationale is? It stinks if people couldn't bet it from a major metropolitan area like Philly, and also that it would suppress the handle.

Joe
