Pimlico forcing a mandatory pay-off of p5 on Preakness day..

[sammy the sage]

.10 cents,,,current jackpot at $116k...

[RunForTheRoses]

I'll give it a try. If you can beat Cali Chrome should pay huge, even with CC could pay decent. With Friday a washout this will be my major play this weekend.

Its .10? It was .50 2 years back

Yeah, I'm pretty sure its 50 cents

I know it's been a 10 cent wager everyday this year, as well as on Preakness day.

Yup. Here's the link which specifies both mandatory payout and 10 cent wager:

OK.

I dont see the need for a .10 pick 5 at all

Pretty soon we will have 1/10th of 1 cent pick somethings...that way, everyone can afford every bet. Can't have a bet that some can't afford, that would be a no no.

My only question is if this is a "on-track" wager or available to off-site outlets also? I have seen and tried to play certain wagers in the past at various tracks to find out they are only available if you are at the track.
I don't play Pimlico on a regular basis so just curious if others have played this wager.

A payoff was shown on twinspires today so I assume it was betable there today.

Anyone that thinks this is gong to pay huge if CC loses is dreaming. Last year I hit this wager (same deal mandatory payout but was 50 cents). Skyring won leg 4 at 24-1, Oxbow (15-1) and it still only paid 16K with a 7-1, 2-1 and 9/5 winning the other races.... So at 10 cents with CC losing I don't think it will pay "huge". Players will have a ton of coverage.

100 percent accurate....

I had my shot to hit the 50k guarantee on the first Friday of the meet with a few $20 horses but not much money was bet

Carryover of 173K for the mandatory payout tomorrow. They will bet between 1 and 2 million more into it based on last year's $845,000 Preakness day handle with an $83,000 carryover going in.....at the 50 cent minimum...go figure.

My two strongest opinions on the sequence:

1. Only need to use "Chrome" and Social Inclusion in the Preakness.

2. Need to hit the all button in leg 1.

The winners for those 5 races paid $7.80, $4.80, $5.60, $17.00, and $3.00.

A $2 win parlay would have paid - $668.30
so the dime parlay should have paid $33.42


It actually paid $180.21
