Del Mar Pick 5 pool sets record

Del Mar makes horseracing history with Pick 5 pool

Del Mar made horseracing history today in the first race when nearly $3 million was bet on the 50-cent Pick 5.

Quote:
Andy Asaro, a handicapper and horseplayer advocate who calls for lower takeout on wagers, said Del Mar’s Pick 5 pool was the largest exotic pool to start a racing card ever, including Breeders’ Cup and Kentucky Derby days.
Asaro praised Jack Liebau and Bernie Thurman of Betfair Hollywood Park for “taking a shot with this bet.” Otherwise, Asaro said “it never would have happened.”
Going into the third race, the start of the Pick 6, the pool topped $1.5 million, giving Del Mar over $4.5 million in total pools for the Pick 5 and Pick 6 wagers.

It wouldn't have happened without Andy as well.

My being new here I didn't realize you were being sarcastic so please excuse my earlier posted reply with the links.
I made a reply and posted what I did in an attempt to be helpful ( not being aware you were being sarcastic )
Sorry.

Not a problem. Andy loves when I bust his chops.

Then he must be extremely sad that this record was broken @ Del Mar.

He's not sad at all. He and Roger Way were the ones that suggested the Player's Pick 5 in the first place.
While Andy can be controversial with his methods, and is relentless with his criticism of the TOC and sometimes the CHRB, there's no doubt that he loves CA racing.

Since they put in the low takeout P5 we get along pretty well. I still dislike the surface.

FYI, I tried to search and got this! Just a head's up for tech support.
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 71 bytes) in /usr/www/users/paceadv/forum/search.php on line 974
Is he saying that you can't bet the CA P5 from NY tracks or is he saying, why don't they have a 50 cent P5 at NY tracks? If it's the former, good question. If it's the latter, then yeah, that's been discussed quite a bit.
