Uncashed AP win tickets

Too bad the state of NY will just keep the cash, would be nice to see that unclaimed money go to a horse racing related charity or put back into the sport some other way.

I agree.
Maybe we could start and email campaign to put public pressure on NYRA to donate the unclaimed winnings.

The WPS pool was like $29 million..
Gotta figure the win pool was probably 60% of that...I still have the original tvg tote link. I did look at the numbers late Saturday. If remember correctly, the win pool on AP was $9 million

So we have approximately 1% of the win pool in $2 "souvenir" bets.. Interesting!

Going forward they can also announce that any uncashed win tickets in the 2 dollar denomination only, will go to horse racing related charities. This way, people will know in advance that their 2 bucks is going to charity, I think the pool will be a lot bigger if that is the case, a win win for all concerned.

Wrong people to petition. State of NY regulation that the money goes to the general fund and I don't see them ever giving up a dime.

How about in cases like these (TC on the line) that "bettors" who are solely trying to create a collectors item, and make a profit, be charged an additional 'vig' of 25% on $2 wagers going strictly to horse-related charities...... The sellers of this racing memorabilia have no problem paying the vig to EBAY to sell the ticket, why would they have a problem paying a vig to purchase the ticket? Makes sense, right SRU?

Strictly for comparison purposes, how many $2 win tickets on California Chrome and Big Brown remain un-cashed?

I like you so I won't accuse you of making less sense than you-know-who, but this just isn't reality, especially in NY.

None. The State now has the money. There is a cashing deadline for each year.
