Friday the Fairgrounds has a pick 18

The mutual manager must be out of his mind...if you one took 2 horses per race it would be 2 to the 18th power times 10 cents....which if my math is correct from doing it in my head is close to 30K..no way anyone will get all 18...but there is a mandatory payout for the most winners...use a lot of singles and a few multiples...who knows lady luck might shine on someone this board
It's fitting that baseball season has begun because the folks at Fair Grounds have decided to play a doubleheader race card on Friday.
Due to race day cancellations and a Louisiana state law that says all the purse money for the season must be paid out, Fair Grounds will stage an 18-race card on Friday. That's right. Eighteen.
Think of it as a day-night double header -- there's a 1-hour break between races 9 and 10. Ambitious multi-race handicappers will be happy to know that you can play a 10-cent Pick 18. As DRF's Marcus Hersh points out, there are no open allowances on the card. So don't be shy about trying to spread -- but watch out, even at 10 cents a combo the cost can get out of hand pretty fast.
It's likely the winning ticket won't hit all 18 races; there is a mandatory payout in place to whoever gets the most correct.

I was wondering what the hell was going on.....thanks
My guess is that the winner will get 11 or 12 races correct.
8 out of 18 might take it down.
