Years ago they used to have twin doubles also, I think they stopped all the doubles, exacta, tri, etc. due to the selling of the second half, caused a lot
of issues, if I remember right............

I think a catchy name, NYRA style, would be, "The Big Apple Twin-Exacta"...

Would NYRA seed it?

Would NYRA guarantee, or seed, the starting pool?
They would be raking in takeout after the initial dangling carrot.

A $20K Twin Exacta guarantee?

Now we are talking. I mean, it can obviously grow from there if the interest is there. The PA board of solid wagerers is obviously interested.

Maybe start with a $50K guarantee to give it the needed boost as a new wager?

Ooooohh!

BAD.

The Big Apple Double.

Wanna be bad? Be BAD at Belmont and hit the Big Apple Double. Hit the winner and the 2nd place finisher in xx races, and you'll be as BAD as you wannbe.

How about a TRIPLET exacta...for those weekday cards where the short fields dominate?

What happened to the Swinger bet, where the thing pays off on any two horses in the money.

Good enough for Hong Kong, would let folks get paid for being right about live longshots without having to buy dozens of combinations in trifectas, and maybe miss it anyhow.

No offense, but that is the biggest money burner in all of horse race betting.

Even if you get your shot home, if the other two are somewhat favs you get zero. And that is in 16 horse fields or more. Zero reward for the risk.

Copy Hong Kong and bring in the TRIPLE TRIO, believe it's the top 3 finishers in 3 races and the field size is usually 14 per race.

Jocks could have day carrying that baby over.

TLG...BLG

The Little Guy Big Little Guy

You hit the 1st leg, you get the normal size Andy.

You hit the 2nd leg, you get a BLOWN UP SIZE Andy.

Obviously a play on Andy but bettors will get the point.

Maybe show average 1st leg payoffs and then 2nd leg payoffs throughtout the history of the wager.

And boy I can't wait for the day where a jock stands up prior to the wire (of the 2nd leg of the wager on a huge carryover day) and blows second by a nose
