Meadowlans head scratcher....

[Reallyquiet]

Did anyone see the results of the 2nd race at the Meadowlands opening night? The winner paid $246 to win,the second horse was roughly 16-1 keying an exacta paying$4,500(roughly).The third horse was roughly 12-1,and the TRIFECTA PAID$4,300!!! Sometimes at the bush harness tracks youll see strange payouts such as this,but the Med had roughly a 3 million dollar handle opening night.For an exacta to pay$4,500,but the tri$(4,300) ,with a 12-1 kicker in the 3rd spot PAYING LESS THAN THE EXACT is mind boggling.I could understand if the 3rd horse was 2-5,and many players would box the favorite with bombs,a strange payout could be in order.But with 3 bombs,that tri shoula paid $15,000 minimum.

I saw that.
I think the pools were Exacta $67K and Trifecta $55K.
With a 25% tri takeout there would be about 10 winning tickets.
Something stunk or Herve Filion got the old gang together for one last coup before new years.
I looked on one harness forum and nobody was complaining or mentioning it, which was stranger than the payout.
It must have been a horsemens race, I guess.

In situations like that. All it takes is a ticket or two with somebody's street address or lucky number to throw things out of whack.

Here are a few ideas ...

Campbell drove the 3rd place finisher ... http://racing.ustrotting.com/chart.aspx ... December 28th ... 2nd race

order of finish = 10-2-3 = 2013 = horsemen's race

Is the exacta payout for $2 verse a $1 trifecta?

Both Exacta and Trifecta were listed as $2 payoffs.

This is one example why Vince only plays honest harness horse racing, i.e. Cal Expo. And now with Exchange Wagering to keep them in check, they're even more honest.

I am sure if you play the trotters you will get a really fair shake with Exchange Wagering. I cant wait to sign up and give it a whirl.
