Well, there wouldn't be 972 individual tickets, probably only 1 or 2. Kind of like scoring a pick 4, only with 2 more legs. However, your point about scratches is very well taken, since you don't know when you make the bet on Friday which horses on the Saturday segments will be scratched. There could be many more scratches than usual, and they require the scorer to figure out who was the PTF. That can be a genuine nuisance for the scorer.
All in all, there seem to be a number of good reasons not to include this wager in our menu. Thanks for the reactions.
