NYRA Late Pick 5

Probably making room for the Twin Exacta...

[Alabama Stakes]

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.

It's baffling that people will choose a $.50 minimum bet with 15% takeout over a $2 minimum bet with an extra multiplier at 16-24% rake?

I am admittedly ignorant on this, but has this type of disparity existed for decades?

Actually, I recall in the late 80s and early 90a it was $2 with a high takeout in California.
