Did anyone notice what the 5th race at The Fairgrounds paid yesterday. The race was a MCl$12.5. The winner paid $115.90 to $1. The next 2 horses were longshots also. The $2 trifecta paid a whopping $130,774 and the $2 Superfecta paid an unbelieveable $780,686!!!!!
I've personally never seen that large of payouts!!!! could not believe it.

I think the payoffs are based on a $2 ticket....if someone had only a 10 cent ticket, they got 5% of the amount for $2.

Every jurisdiction in the U.S. requires a minimum payout (usually 5 cents to the dollar) for any winning bet, regardless of how much money is left in the pool after deducting winning wagers.
A minus pool occurs when such a large % of the pool is bet on the winning horse(s) that there is not enough money left in the pool after deducting winning wagers and commissions to pay at least $2.10 for a $2 wager.
What happens when there are large payoffs is the opposite of a minus pool; there is very little money bet on the winning horse (exacta, tri, etc.)

I was not trying to be a wise guy, with the amounts of the $2.00 payouts shown, and the amounts of the pools, it appeared that there was likely only one winning tri ticket and one winning super ticket, the tri at $1.00 and the super at $.10. The amounts posted reflected what would have been paid out for winning $2.00 tickets.

I wish all tracks would LABEL their will-pays and payouts. It's getting really confusing trying to remember who shows what!
I guess one way to do it is always show the minimum payout -- 10 cents, 50 cents, $1 or $2 -- whatever the minimum for the bet is.
If anyone on here is a track executive or knows one, pass this message on!
