Rich Perloff just hit the pick six at Saratoga for $54,000 on an eighty dollar ticket. Better than a poke in the eye with a burnt stick?

I'm very happy for Rich. He's my favorite TVG personality. Well deserved.

I hit a pick three yesterday for $781.50 on a $36 ticket! Unfortunately, play money but did put me in the lead for the Saratoga pool I play with 6-7 others. Winner take all so if I keep lead I'll make $350 or so.

I just found out that Rich didn't play his picks. Good job anyway. I hope some folks played his ticket.

Looks to me like four to six TVG account holders cashed in on Rich's ticket. It's his job to give them out, not necessarily to play them. A job well done in this case I'd say.

Well, with all the big bucks TVG pays him, he probably didn't need the $50K. Rich didn't seem to mind. He freely admitted the Pick 6 isn't his preferred wager.

What was very weird was that he was getting emails accusing him of lack of integrity because he didn't play his ticket.
