I'm assuming not much because they're mostly favorites.

If that comes in depending on the order I would say the payout will vary from about 12 dollars for every dollar if AP wins and the high at 28 dollars for every dollar if it goes Dortmund, Firing Line, AP. These are just guesses but you're right when you say their the favorites. If you want to make a big score on a trifecta today AP would have to be left off the ticket.

That was an ugly spill there in the 3rd at Pimlico.

5dimes has Mr Z. at 40/1 to win Preakness in their fixed odds section for Horse Racing. Is that a mistake? Seeing 14/1 other places.

I just put $10 on it

That had to be the easiest TC winner since Smarty Jones at Pimlico.

Made almost all my bets on AP to win so I think I missed the exacta, congrats to whomever had the 5 horse for place.

Thanks for the +10% dizzles.

If you played it straight for a dollar you got 492-1. But even so... $492.00 isn't even a signer so I would have to say that isn't a big score IMHO.

Yea but you're a gambler... You'll get it back... I'm actually someone who likes signers. You always get the money back when you're doing your taxes. It's a nice stash of money that you forget about.

You wagered $200 total.
$50 AP to win = $95
$50 AP to show = $70
$25 Dortmund to place = $0
$25 Dortmund to show = $0
$25 Firing Line to place = $0
$25 Firing Line to show = $0

So you didn't win anything... You ended up losing $35.

Haha, was having a terrible day. Just hit the 2 horse in 9th at SA at 15-1. I am now up about half of one standard bet.

Stupid game

Once the heavens opened up like i said this morning i had saw this before with AP...Hop hop gone...Hell of a horse!

Took 9th out of 139 in the big tournament i was preparing this week but that paid peanuts for 9th but fun going against top cappers.

I am of the opinion that is a very nice return on the trifecta. For myself i do not like signers but obv your doing something right when you get them. If there is a horse i like at say 7-1 and i throw $100 at him and it hits i now have a signer which sucks,so for me it is an automatic play to wager $50 to get back $350 and hit repeat on the wager so i still get the $700 return if i am correct but avoid the signer as well....Think i construct all my plays with this in mind myself.

Great turn out itt today and looks like everyone had a blast, i know i did and can not wait to see this to NY......No sleep till Brooklyn baby!

"So you didnt win anything...you ended up losing $35"...I could not of summed up being a horse player any better than that phrase right there LOL

Hit the pick 4. Which was nice. Also hit the exacta and the PS & S. Nice finish to the day for me.

Up almost a grand on Preakness weekend is great especially with how many favorites came in. Thanks to everyone in this thread.
