Coast to coast: See toteboard predictions for Pick 5 insight
{{monthName}} {{day}}, {{year}} {{hour12}}:{{minuteTwoDigit}}{{dayPeriod}}
I wrote last week about how coast-to-coast Pick 5 payouts greatly exceed expecations, so let's take a look at the offering this weekend.
The $1 Pick 5 features races from Gulfstream and Santa Anita every Saturday and Sunday and a low 15 percent takeout. The $1 base makes it tougher to get coverage on your tickets, which can lead to higher payoffs.
Below are the pools and payoffs for the first 11 coast-to-coast wagers of 2024.
I highlighted in green any time the Pick 5 has paid more than twice the parlay, and it has done exactly that 80 percent of the time when there is no carryover. The results have been fantastic, so let's look at this weekend's schedule.

To help in planning out the Pick 5, we have included below Horse Racing Nation's AI line which is designed to give you a better prediction of the final odds than the morning line does. This can help indicate which contenders will be bet more than the morning line and which horses odds will go up quite a bit at race time.
