Odds of winning the super high five

[MAGICHORSEMAN]

Here are the number of possible combinations for the super high five.

16 horses 524,260

15 horses 360,360

14 horses 240,240

13 horses 154,440

12 horses 95,040

11 horses 55,440

10 horses 30,240

9 horses 15,120

8 horses 6,720


This sheer number of combinations will greatly increase the payoffs in this new super high five bet at Santa Anita.

Quite often it will be a field of thirteen with four obvious tosses which doesn't leave a ton of combos available like in the Pick 6. Don't think you'll see huge payouts or carryovers and I predict it will last for this meet only.

Dec 26 - carryover
Dec 28 - hit
Dec 29 - hit

Dec 30 offers a good chance for carryover with three first-time starters and four second-time starters.

Dec 31 looks like it will definitely be hit with a formful ten-horse starter allowance.

Jan 1 offers a chance for carryover with 14 inconsistent maiden claimers including a few firsters.

If I was inclined to play this bet, the 31st would be the only day that I would consider this week.

How "low" shall we go before we just have a nice, dumbed-down lottery inside a horse race ? Oh, we're already there ? Okay.
