This is 100% correct. Sports betting will be everywhere when it comes. Almost like the lottery. It'll be the thing that takes 15-40% of handle and pushes out all the tracks gasping for air (Finger...

So I would assume Stronarch passed at Parx simply because of his age. I think their lack of taking on new projects is more driven by their Chairman being 85 then anything else. Tough to take on...

Look the talent at TVG has always been in the ladies room. Not just Brittany but also Christina and Caton too.

The reason is this. You can tell they put morning work in. With both being related to...

I would say our end game is the same. I think using the setups of other Triple Crowns as data points the idea that more time makes it easier is simply false. Those Triple Crowns reflect it doesn't....

Yeah but literally only 4 TC winners (AP, Affirmed, Slew, and Secretariat) won it at this set up.

Literally twice as many won it under any other setups.

I'm not getting your point. Are you saying they didn't help the sport? Or are you asking for direct impact on handle?

The problem with that logic than it's game over. If you market it as straight gambling the vig (i.e. Takeout) is too large to attract big money.

As much as casual sports fans are a pain to more...

For me any and all changes are on the table. For example if you ran the Derby later you could run a longer spring Keeneland meet. You can't start it earlier because of the weather but you can run it...

What makes this comment really funny is this. Randy Moss lives in Minneapolis and lived there when the other one played on the Vikings. Also both currently are NFL commentators.

I'm 100% convinced moving the dates and having more time in between races makes it harder not easier. The biggest bullshit argument is longer gaps make the races easier. I'm 100% convinced that while...

Yeah but I'm not convinced they've done ANYTHING. They eliminated a day and got bigger fields the other three. Unless the entry both is up over 25% it's a nothing burger.

They mentioned a tibia issue which would most likely mean a break.

However if you asked a SoCal jockey to pick a spot to have to miss 4-6 weeks in SoCal he would probably pick this 4-6 next weeks.
