Think you got your races confused, 1st leg had a pair of Rudy horses, 2nd leg was just the 23-1 shot so no "other" horse in there.
Pick 6 payout was indeed under the parlay. Since NYRA has offered the jackpot 6 I've found their mandatory payout days to have very underwhelming payouts. Hard to make a blanket statement and just say the "sharpies" are honing in on these NY pools, but personally I find it befuddling. I think the GP payouts have gotten more disappointing over the years as well, but I continue to see some jurisdictions where the payouts are still eye-catching, so hard to fathom why such differences.
