I just hope they keep the Pick-4 a 50 cent base since they have the 50 cent Pick-5 now

The 50 cent Pick 5 has been successful at tracks that either didn't offer a Pick 6 or didn't have handle on it that reached five digits on most days. NYRA doesn't qualify under either of those.

Has NYRA ever considered seeding the Pik 6 or reserving 10% of the jackpot? What kind of works in poker rooms are bad beat Jackpots that when hit are still substantial for the next potential winner. If the Pik 6 pool always had a balance it could be better attended. Maybe if 5% of ever tix was withheld as a tax and the payout was clipped 5pts? I realize some of the issues but maybe it could work with a bit of engineering.

They had a $100K guarantee on Thursdays at Saratoga this year, and it seemed to work well.
