Toronto, ON — Go Go Red Marty was able to score as an overwhelming $2.30 favorite in Thursday night’s first leg of the Tie Silk Trotting Series at Woodbine and, at first glance, there was not much money to be made by using him in your tickets.

However, those able to hook him up with Vermo ($47.90) and L H Nenia ($80.30) in the first Pick-3 of the night were rewarded with a generous $1,384.85 return.

The same race with Go Go Marty featured a wagering oddity with a massive show pool of $239,015, the bulk of which was wagered on the winning favorite.

Monday’s program showcased a new guaranteed pool of $40,000 on the early Pick-4 wager which generated another large actual pool of $46,306.60.
