The betting pools are a joke. No halfway serious bettor would place a bet here. In their Saturday night Open Trot feature the Exacta pool was $1,033, The Triple pool was $491 and the Superfecta pool was $277. Can you imagine if the four longest shot horses came in 1-4, you have the only winning Superfecta ticket and it pays $200 for a $2 bet? I don’t care about the casino subsidy it is a horrible business decision to throw good money at such a losing proposition. Clearly the harness racing fans both locally and via simulcast could care less if Tioga closes.
