What we need is a sky view of the races, maybe a small blimp with remote control. Those pictures would sell like hot cakes downloaded from the internet or just for view.

And big numbers on the jockeys’ backs and also on the tops of their helmets to easily tell who’s who. :ThmbUp:

Yes, and also a micro chip in the jocks hat so the caller get the horses dam name right! :D

All has to do is look at a monitor with horses name is right there as the race is run. :)

I want to ride a monorail on the inside of the track to watch the races, so when the jock stiffs my horse, he can see me giving him the finger.

What's frustrating is when you have a betback horse and the horse is pounded down to unbettable odds. This happened yesterday in the 9th at Hawthorne; a horse named Scottie made a big move 3 wide against a strong rail bias a few weeks ago and now was facing many of the same horses plus a couple new shooters. And throughout the betting, Scottie was 2-1, which I felt was too low. Then they load into the gate and he gets hammered down to a completely unbettable 1-1. And he wins w/ridiculous ease. I suspect it wasn't all public money on him.

Valuist,

He was a heavy fav in the doubles also. Came back $16. He got pounded, but the dropdown and trainer stats, along with his back numbers made him a stickout if he could still walk, and he did look good on the track. His trainer, Shenofsky, excels 2nd off a layoff and also going spr/rte. He had a LOT going for him.

Sorry, wrong race number. I meant the 8th. I could very easily see the big bet on the horse in the 9th, taking the big plunge. The 8th was very suspicious.
