Yesterday's Pick 5 pool did not include a carry over, thus if it would have existed at a New York track the take would have only been 16% assuming all else the same and the rules would be the same for it and the Pick 6. We can thank the OTB system for that extra percentage point.
You had a nice hit but you exemplify what I call rule #5 which says "No matter how good something is, some horseplayer will find some way to bitch about it". Enjoy your hit and quit worrying about what doesn't exist.

Not "Bitching" (I was lucky)I'm just pointing out that "Takeout" makes a big difference in this game.
