On the first day of the job, Avioli needs to tell Stronach to stop coming up with these silly bets like the Slider that are impossible to hit and will never attract any serious play. To hit The Slider you must pick the winner of the first leg, hit the straight exacta in the second leg, hit the straight trifecta in the third leg and pick the straight superfecta in the fourth leg. You'd have a better chance of getting hit by lightning, winning Mega Millions and having Jennifer Aniston profess her undying love to you all in the same day than hitting The Slider.
Avioli needs to tell Stronach that Magna needs to instead concentrate on giving the customer a chance to actually go to the track and not go broke, which can be done by reducing takeout in bets that are popular and easily hit, like the exacta. He needs to tell him that Magna should lobby for a massive reduction in the takeout in California in an effort to make amends with the thousands of horseplayers who will no longer bet on Santa Anita because they're tired of getting ripped off by some of the highest takeouts in the country.
