What happened in the end? Did someone withdraw a big wager or something? I would have been sure based on the figures on the board that it would have been a negative show pool and everyone would have paid out $2.10. Yet that wasn't the case.

I must have missed that, I'm not a big bridge jumper. What is net pool pricing?

Some new crazy way of figuring out payoffs....

This link is what I have used in the past to explain it

This is a pretty remarkable shift in show payoffs from the old model. DRF says there was a 143K minus pool. Yet CP West and Sightseeing still paid $3.40 and $3.00.

Rob, did you get the final show pool amount on Street Sense? The 546,000/600,000 = 91% is not as high a percentage as I've seen in some minus pools.

That is strange....How could a the place horse pay $3.40 to show and the show horse 3.00 to show with a 143 K minus pool? It has always been automatic for all three horses in the money to pay 2.10 in this situation. Is NYRA trying to lose money?

I didnt get the final show pool amount, and I think the ones I did get from the NYRA website could be wrong. Maybe the same person who timed the Lawyer Ron race posted the pool amounts on the NYRA website toteboard. I looked today and thing just dont add up

example:

place pool R3

1,378
1,230
8,280
1,303
______
14,356 total

obviously wrong there ..... 3rd race today 17 min to post.. doesnt add up correctly

I had $300k in there but dumped it after i heard NYRA wasn't offering rebates on $2.10 payouts
