The more I read about the pick 6 the more I think its bad for racing. I read that HP is so dependent on the pick 6 carryover that they will do just about anything they can to generate one and I cant help but think if that means fixing races. If its the difference between being in the red or black I just have a hard time trusting anyone.

I think the only thing HP might do is schedule the more open, and larger fields in the Pick 6 sequence. They dont do anything else, including have the stewards DQ a favorite to get a carryover. You will often see a small stake on the weekend scheduled as race 3 or 4. outside the Pick 6. What I dont like at HP is in the spring they often make the last race of the day a 2yr old maiden claimer. IMO those are impossible to handicap and have horses who cant run better than a 40-50 Beyer, and thus make me not play the late pick 4. I dont mind that race being in the pick 6 but wish it wasnt in the late pick 4.

One group is conspiring to hit the pick six by fixing races, now we find there is another group that is fixing races in order to get them to carryover. or maybe they take turns, the carryover fixers step aside once the pool is sufficiently large and lets the pick six fixers take over to cash in. hmmm...

I really cant because its just a theory. I really never gave it much thought until I heard a HP official in an email tell an owner who was upset about when and how the races were carded that their single goal is to generate carryovers, and that its the difference between making and losing money. I started to think if money causes trainers to cheat why not the track? Moreover at HP amongst the longshots they seem to have everyday several times it seems to happen in the formful races on paper, meaning its not the deep races big syndicates go deep in but races were its hard to make a case for more then 2 or 3 horses.

Stay out of the kitchen if you can't take the heat and I am certain regular Pick 6 players can stand the heat.
The author, Plunko or whatever has a slight ego lol..

This in my opinion is simple mathematics. Those who chase the Pick 6 are players on another level from the majority of us. They don't roll with a couple $20's on a Saturday alright. They are cats who have bills to burn and they are not worried about what they are gonna do if the lose on their $900 Pick 6 ticket on a Saturday at Belmont, etc etc.. These are Business Owners, CEO's Bankroll Players (cats who play for wealthy folks) etc etc on a weekly basis. The author of this article is way off base. It's like comparing Pick 6 players with the local crowd on a Monday afternoon at Beulah trying to hit an exacta in the 5th. Just not realistic at all in my humble opinion.
Honestly, how many people on here or that you know of go to a track with $100 or $200 with the goal of playing the Pick 6? The Pick 6 is a great bet and their is no harm in it. I'll compare it to this. I went to Grand Victoria Casino in Rising Sun, Indiana a couple weeks ago. I walked in, after we paid for the hotel room and dinner, with a little over $100. Did you see me playing the $25 slots? No. Same difference. Know your limits.
