Well if the late pick 5 for NYRA Bets members only is a trial (based on timing), you would think or hope that this is a trial for some sort of Saratoga Del Mar crossover.

Small difference, but what's the takeout? Belmont - 24% or LosAl - 23.68%

About $16 per $500 if I did that right

That takeout is excessive no matter how you slice it. wouldnt 20 be more reasonable ?
