Recent Win Prices

The average Win Payouts have been pretty constant over the years, just a slight decline.

But something happened in May-Jun, see the chart, that's getting hard to explain by normal variation.

The biggest drops have been at Scioto, Harrington, Meadowlands, The Meadows and Yonkers,
more than a dollar off prior year averages.

Just curious, What do you blame the drop on?

This is sort of on the same line but I always see the pick 5 pool really low at woodbine all the time. Like in the first race they would have (let’s say) $150k in the pool and then the race is over and there is magically $50k left and it dwindles down to no money at all!

That's not the pool...I think you're talking about the amount of live money left.

I don't follow harness other than just some casual Meadowlands or Freehold watching, but haven't Meadowlands' field sizes fallen drastically? Fields were always full there but now I see 7-horse races quite frequently. That could easily explain lower payoffs.

Ray,
If you'd like to see some off the chart declines?
Look at Miami Valley for 2017 & 2018.
2017 the Pct of favorites was 12% for the entire meet.
2018 was normal.

FWIW the decline at Scioto (almost always a short price track) was due to the Dominance of Dan Noble and a few other drivers.
This dominance has carried over to Dayton, where Jeremy Smith has unheard of numbers (at least for Jeremy). But just a few top all the others. Very unusual for Dayton.

Jeremy smith is now getting first call for Dan Maier Who uses the same products as adam short, dan noble , and tyler george. When you have 3 or 4 guys who have that strong an edge it leads to lower and lower prices in southern Ohio.

I haven't seen a lot of money in the win, place and show pools at Mohawk. Usually only a couple $1000.

That's a big part of the drop at Meadowlands. Doing this by track runs into small sample sizes. For all tracks, the number of races since 6/1/18 is 18,500 but for the BigM it's only 276

Oddly enough, 5 tracks show an increase in payoffs, Saratoga, Tioga, Vernon, Pocono and Georgian Downs.

You can check the pool sizes at
http://standardbredcanada.ca/results...list/WBSBS/ALL
typically 25,000-30,000
The number you're seeing might be the pool at the time of your bet. Most of the money comes in late.

The falloff in win price at Dayton is $1.10 over 450 races since Jun 1 compared to prior year averages.


All I know for sure is my accounts have taken a nose dive since June 1.....

Thanks to all who voted
