It's in Puerto Rico.. There was something like an $11,000,000 payout a few months ago. And there's the Swedish harness bet that is like lotto there... Millions every week. (And jballs is of course right about the Ohio progressive P6)...
The 60-6 hasn't turned out like they originally hoped or planned. Was to be a 15% takeout-$1 minimum. Each state has taken on different responsibilities, and apparently, because of the way New Jersey laws are written, they have to govern the policies/rules of the bet, and $2/25% came out on top. It's too bad because I've been very excited about the concept based on the success of the Magna 5.
PHA's Sal Sinatra, who is in charge of selecting the 6 races each week, should be on "At the Races" tonight to provide latest explanation of the way things turned out on the concept. The first 6 of this Saturday is murderously tough...
