First let me say that I don't feel like Pinnacle is trying to cheat me. I just feel that they probably made an incorrect decision from the evidence I can gather. It isn't a large amount of money either, thankfully.

Here is what happened:

1. I placed three Pick-3 wagers on races 10,11 and 12 at Saratoga on Saturday.

2. My 3 tickets were all certain losers until...
the 12th race at Saratoga was cancelled. The rules on pinnacle's horse wagering section Pinny Horse Rules don't really deal with a cancelled race. The closest thing I can find is under Scratches. It clearly states that for Pick 3's and Pick 4's- You will not receive the track favorite or any consolation payouts, but instead a refund.

Effectively the 12th race at Saratoga was scratched. None of my selections ran in the 12th Race at Saratoga. In the past when I have had winners in leg A and B and then my selection in Leg C was scratched, I received a refund. (FYI- for those that don't know the track would give you the post time favorite).

Pinnacle said that I was wrong and that the consolation 2 of 3 payout for Races 10-12 at Saratoga would stand. Huh ? Your rules say that for Pick 3's and Pick 4's this can't happen. They stood by this ruling.

The fact that I don't agree with this one ruling doesn't change the fact that I feel Pinnacle is one of the very best books out there. Their 7% Rebate on horse play is a phenomenal promotion.

Please email me your account number. Pinnacle is reviewing and if they cannot show an implicit rule that fits this issue on their site, then they will credit your account back, but they are going to assure it is not covered in the rules 1st. It may not be night and day, but we may see it in a common sense light when we review.
