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

That's the gross pool listed as the total. The amount bet on each horse added together equals the net pool.
