Mahoning Valley bad beat yesterday
Started a nice pick 3 yesterday singling a 15-1 shot in race 2. In the second leg (race 3) I had four pieces two of which were gate scratches. Post 1 & 7 scratched minutes apart although having nothing to do with each other. UNUSUALLY MHV does not give a consolation in the pick 3 rather assigns it to the post Time favorite. Well now I have two horses that go off at cofavorites the 2 and 5 horse. Naturally the 3 horse wins and I’m left with nothing. The 50 cent pick three paid 700.00 with a 15-1, 3-1. and even money. All of the money from the two gate scratches went to the post time fav which lost thus inflating the payoff. Why don’t they have a consolation ? Sour grapes.
