I strongly suggest everyone listen to Wolf. IMO he loves the opportunity the Rainbow 6 affords bettors of his ilk. My take away from his spot is simple: Gulfstream Huge winner, Big Players big opportunity, huge winners, bread and butter folks, well a few lucky bread and butter folks win at scratch offs and sweepstakes all the time. Without saying it directly he clearly recognized the track and the whales fed off the backs of nickel dime players. Is it a good bet? Better left to individuals to make that decision.
It was a great listen, as well as, listening to the guy in Albany that played a 260 ticket and hit, plus the 13 guys that tossed a hundred each into a pool and hit. Lets do some math, after the IRS scoop the 90 became 70 netting roughly 5.7k to each of the 13 participants. So they yielded 57 to 1. If you think they were thrilled, they were, if you think 5700 made their day, it did. If you think scoping 4 mil out of potential churn was good for sport I beg to differ but acknowledge its such a hard equation to truly gauge... I could be completely wrong. Is the Rainbow 6 bad for racing..No its bad for folks betting 100 bucks and thinking today could be their lucky day and they could win a 1 mil on a NON forced payout day. Is it disingenuous for tracks to promote such potential, by letter of law probably not but I think it's dirty pool? |

Not sure why this was done last Saturday maybe Stronach looking for a big quarter maybe legal obligations? If they really wanted to maximize this they would let it go for another week which would include a massive pool Fla Derby Sat and use this coming Sunday as the distribution day.... There obviously may be drivers I am missing but that is what I would do. For all intends and purposes the Gulfstream meet ends after Fla Derby for a lot of us.

Sister track Santa Anita has its' big day next Saturday and certainly money will be drawn towards Wood Day at AQU and Blue Grass at KEE. They only were competing last week with Fair Grounds.

Perhaps part may be Sundays not getting the volume of Saturday?
