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.

Just saw this bet is at 19% take. Not super high I guess, but not all that great either. Don't really play Keeneland, so don't know how this works in their overall structure.

Been lectured about this for GP. What no one has explained to me is how I get a bet down at that level...
