The tri pool ended up with 400K in it.

At Ruidoso.

On a Monday.

I thought something would pop up here by the time I got registered, but a search came up empty. Never saw anything on DRF, or other industry type sites.

Any wild guesses? Just a costly bad punch?

Chart is here.

Wow.... quite a few people (38 or so at $1 increments) were pleasantly surprised to collect over 9000 instead of 300 or so bucks. WOW

Something looks wrong there, maybe an extra digit?

How do you figure?

Race 8.

I looked at your Equibase Chart.

As stated in the original post, I'm referring to Race 8.

He confused some people with the way he posted the PDF. Scroll down to the 8th race and you'll see it.

There was also a thread about 2 weeks ago on this same issue with $400K in the tri pool. Strange.

My mistake.
I looked at the first race thinking it was the eighth.

Apologies to all if that's the case. I couldn't figure out how to grab a single race, as opposed to the full card, once they've gone historical.

No kidding? I missed that somehow. Definitely strange.

You're absolutely right. I HAD seen that thread, but checked out before the RUI race was ever mentioned. Thanks for pointing it out.

For anyone who cares...

This is really fascinating stuff.
It looks like one person put 400 dimes into a pool that usually takes 10k.
So with takeout being what it is,the bettor had zero chance to win money.
Even if they absolutely nailed the best case scenario they still would of lost money.
Bizarre to say the least.

Race 7 today (July 3) the tri was 9-1 over 8-1 over 29-1 and you get 430 for a buck?

Seems a smidge light.
