Lightbulb Omni bet (Launch pushed back)

Looking at the PP at Longchamp, the betting options were

WPS EX TRI SUPER and OMNI

Omni - Make two selections to occupy two of the first three places in a race. There are three winning combinations and if your selections both finish in the first three, in any order, you win.


I wish they had this instead of the really dumb Head 2 Head wager in the Breeeders Cup.

New types of wagers are proven business builders. As the Grand Slam was designed as a gateway bet to P4's and the like, this has a similar feel for neophytes that get frustrated when the run 1-3 in exactas. Am sure it will find its' niche..

I remember when So. Cal used to have parlay bets. You had to fill out those cards to give to a teller.
