Kind of the opposite of what CD did on Derby Weekend. Will we see a similar wager be offered over Travers Weekend? Or BC preview weekend?

I have heard NYRA has plans for this bet at The Spa too GAM.So I would say Travers would be the time to do it.

I'm off McKenzie......leaning to Mitole. I heard on Byk that NYRA put forth this idea (.20 pk six) last year, and that like doc likely to be a part of Spa wagering.(not sure what happens with the $2 version)

I'll be in. I've embraced the 20cent sole winner P6 wager and I've won a few times. Best days were early on, when many decent 5 of 6 paid well(over a 100/1). Never hit on a mandatory payday, which is mathematically the only time the wager makes sense. I've done well on days where I was 1 of 10 winners(18k on a $14 bet as documented on these boards at the time). Just last week, I was for the 1st time a unique winner who took home all the money. It was at Remington Park, so the whole pot including carryover was $1484. Still, on a $6.40 wager, I'll take it. . . . fwiw...My p6 is (4-6-7)-(1-4-6)-(1-7)-(1-2-8)-(1-8)-(x-y-z)...$64.80

That’s some great results. I’ll probably be deciding over the afternoon, although my early capping may have me lighter on Friday than the one you’ve posted. In particular, I may single Raa Atoll.

I've not finalized a ticket yet, but one thing I'm certain of is I will take a stand against two horses who figure and will be included on most tickets. Either one is very logical and can burn the ticket. The two being McKenzie and Bricks and Mortar. Going two deep in both legs (Mitole,Firenze Fire) (Quarbaan,Olympico) Want to spread elsewhere, taking a stand here to do so.

Ya, knocked out when Raa Atoll flattened in the stretch. I played 8,10/8/1,6,7,9/1,7,8/4,8,10. $28.80

Ended up paying $9,500. Very nice payoff given that Bricks and Mortar was odds on, Catalina Cruiser was 8/5 and Mitole was second choice and no otherwise incomprehensible types.
