It must have to do with the pick 6, right? They have the early pick 5 and 4 on each other already. What would be the difference to do it late as well?

I believe that the pick 6 player is a totally different animal anyway. I know for me personally, I'll always play the pick 5 and then depending, sometimes the 4 also, but I am never jumping into the pick 6 pool. I realize that I just don't have the bankroll for it and rather take a healthy swing at a pick 5 than a half hearted feeble stab at a pick 6.

Perfectly stated

I would always take a pick 4 shot also even if still alive in the 5.. Would look to go deeper in legs of the Pick 4 I wasn't in the Pick 5.

This is my approach too. It's not as if now that there's no late Pick 5, I'm going to spend $200 on 100 lousy Pick 6 combos, and I also am not willing to bet a 24% rake Pick 4 with nearly the same resources I would the Pick 5. I'd estimate that my handle on these weekend cards has decreased by the thousands since they killed the late Pick 5.

NYRA has done a lot of good things in recent years, but this is a ridiculously dumb self-inflicted wound and something I hope would be rectified.

Gotta think the couple if times they did it, it must have hurt the pick 4 pool , with the high 24% takeout, which they are trying to keep the same. I really think that Having the late pick 5 would draw more and moreCalifornia money and be a great thing. It's not like people are gonna hit a nice one and stop playing. 24% is excessive and we all know that. If they got that to 20% , it would be nice.

In an ideal world they could just chop all the exorics to 15% and let the customer choose what pools to play in, regardless of take out. The pick 3, 4 and 6 would get a big daily boost. The Pick 6 would draw some West Coast money and larger carryovers and you wouldn't have discrimination on wager types via takeout.

This occurs and often tracks and horsemen turn the blind eye to it.

Yeah, it's always been that way. Baffling. It's as if there is a severe allergy to the pick six on the East coast.
