Indiana Grand Pari-Mutuel Rules, Racing Dates Adjusted

First and foremost, I rarely bet Indiana Grand outside of Derby day.

But, I did find it interesting that they have adjusted Off Turf wagers with respect to multi-race wagers:

In addition to the date change, the IHRC also approved amendments to current rules for pari-mutuel racing. Races taken off the turf once the wagering pools have closed for the Pick 4, Pick 5 and Pick 6 will now become "all" wagers. The Pick 6 will now become a scenario where "all" horses in that race will be considered a winner. Formerly when a horse scratched from a race taken off the turf after the close of the wagering pools, the customer was given a substitute of the post-time favorite.

interested in hearing others thoughts on this. On one hand, you're not hooked into rooting for a horse you might not even want or like in the post-time favorite, while on the other hand the "all" button has to water these payouts down given the fact that it's a free square for everyone who's horse scratched out of the sequence.

If I'm reading that right, it's not a free square for everyone who's horse scratched but for literally everyone who played the pick 4, 5, or 6.

Isn’t this how it is in most jurisdictions?

Yeah this is standard. I don’t know of any track where it doesn’t work like this. The bigger news is them cutting their Pick 4 takeout to 15% on top of their 12% Pick 5 rake. They deserve credit for that.
