NYRA Grand Slam

I\'ve only played this bet a time or two and its not very popular. The pool today was only 74K. For those unfamiliar in the sequence that started in race 7 you had to pick a show horse in all 3 legs then the winner of the 4th leg. Now race 7 was tough but not impossible as Celestine was 3rd choice in the wagering, race 8 had the first 2 choices in the money and Frosted as the favorite in the last.

THE SEQUENCE IS PAYING $ 171 WITH FLINTSHIRE, 84/1 ON A 3/5 SHOT. INCREDIBLE

Does anyone on the board ever play this wager?

Is it possible that is a $2 or $3 payoff and the odds are a half or a third? It seems insanely generous....I wish I knew such a thing was possible.

It\'s a $2 bet So Cal and it is an insane payoff

I play this bet quite often. You can get some crazy payouts. If one or two favs are out of the top 3 spots in the first 3 races, the payouts are very generous. It\'s a very interesting bet IMO, if you don\'t like a favorite to hit the board in one of the first 3 legs, you have value. I like to go with 3 Non favorites in the first 3 legs that I think will hit the board, hope one or more of the favs is out in those 3 races, and put my top 3 choices in the fourth leg. Usually one of those 3 I\'ll use is a longer shot I like the most. That\'s just how I play it, but I\'d love to hear if anyone else has a strategy on it.

Just know if favorites come in the first 3 legs,the payout will not be great and probably low, but IMO it\'s worth the risk to see if that happens.

Edit: Just realized and I have No clue how I replied to a post from 3 years ago LOL. It was on front page of website. But anyways, I was curious if anyone else plays this bet and strategy. Scott
