Hi,

This is for punters attending Ooty IVB at Bengaluru and Mysuru.

I would like to know if totes of both the centres are combined are do they operate separately. If they have not joined hands, then what is the average tote collection for WIN, SHP, TRINELLA, TREBLE, MINI_JACKPOT & JACKPOT at both the centres separately.

I had attended Ooty IVB at both centres about five years before. Some times it used to be combined, and on some occasions there will be a last-minute announcement in Mysuru that "today's tote bets will not be combined with Bengaluru."

Whether it is combined or not, it makes little difference to the Bengaluru tote and, if my memory serves me right, I recall a healthy collection (for Ooty?) of about Rs.4 to Rs.5 lakh for WIN in every race, and about Rs.10K for Trinellas. The Jackpot also used to be in the range of 25K to 30K. However, in Mysuru, it will be only about Rs.1.5 lakh for WIN and Rs.3 to Rs.5 for Trinellas, and the Jackpot will invariably be around Rs.10K.

How are the tote payouts at Bengaluru this season? What was the payment of WIN for the many horses that C Umesh won on the 1000 Guineas weekend?
