Stranger than fiction..

Dan Borislow the winner so you know the money ultimately will find it's way back into circulation.. One way or another. Congrats to him on a clever play.

I know people are disappointed, but he probably did a lot of us a favor.

During his phone interview, he said he actually bought two separate tickets for $7,603.20 each.

At the Palm Beach Kennel Club, the tote machines don't spit out tickets larger than 10k so he had to play it that way. He was invested for over 15.2k. He said he only went after it so hard today, because his sons graduation party was tomorrow from 1PM to 5PM, and he couldn't play it.

So he had ALL's in five of the six races, and was four deep in the other.

Gulfstream shot themselves in the foot by not making this sequence as easy as possible. Tracks generally like to card the deepest and most competitive races in the P6 sequence and sometimes will even move a Graded stakes race out of a P6 sequence if it's not a competitive looking event.

A clever thing to do would have been to let a race or two go with a 4-horse field and put it in the sequence. A race or two that otherwise wouldn't even fill.

I don't know many of us who can afford to drop that much on a bet like the Rainbow. Money did find it's way back

I will be interested to see what the handle is today on pools other than the P6. A lot of people already spent a great deal of time on the card.

No one had the pick 5 yesterday, so it starts with a 44K carryover.

Always best time to play "Jackpot" type pools......the day or two leading up to mandatory ( while other are saving bullets for the big day, thus eliminating a lot of competition ) and random weekday Off Turf days ( those days seem to make people disinterested in the card).

That said, I am dissappointed that it got taken down, but not shocked at the timing of when it was poached.

If the owner of Magic Jack is a millionaire and the Cleveland Browns are worth half a billion dollars than I'm worth $3.5 million at least. Just has to be.

Class warfare? Who cares how much money this guy has?

You do realize guys like this often help to create large pools and underlays creating opportunities for the rest of us, right?
