PS--I wrote that I didn't remember "show betting being cancelled in a 7-horse race before", but in this very thread there was an example of show betting being cancelled in 7-horse field.
It's been 3 years since my last "show parlay" pick, the above one on Rachel. That's not from lack of opportunities. But it was long enough to result in this thread finally being sent to the Archives. However, a thread can rise from the dead...

Princess of Sylmar in the Alabama today seems like a good choice to keep my "current" parlay going.

Bankroll = $121.

Bet #5: $121 on Princess of Sylmar in the Alabama
