Should racetracks show will pays for the larger pick 6 pools?
I ask this because there is one racetrack I know of that refuses to show will pays and how many tickets are alive to what horses in the final leg. I called them out twice last year and got the same response. The mutuels department would only say the reasoning behind this is to prevent race manipulation. She would not elaborate. Then it got me thinking about a pick 6 race at Gulfstream a few years ago where 1 ticket was alive to a very large pool. The race looked all locked up for the win but something funny happened with the horse and someone lost huge in the final strides. Who knows it could be bad luck, bad karma or something else. This sport has never been 100% on the up and up and that is a fact. Was this mutuel person basically saying someone could manipulate a race if they knew only 1 ticket was alive or what horse was needed ? Why would they do that ?
