The charts say 122. I was watching at the simo and saw no weight correction posted. Who said/wrote 123?

I believe the rules have changed in the last year or so in California. If it's a lost voucher, it can be replaced by getting the parimutuel dept. to trace it and lock it. If it's a lost/stolen bet...

Well, the holdup guy was quite amateurish here, too, being solo. Can't get good help on short notice? 2 guys with big guns would take care of your 5 friends easily, and maybe one of them gets a...

There was discussion a while back where there seemed to be much agreement that there wasn't the overlay advantage to playing P3s there once was. Also, the "requirement" to take a race you're not...

My racing days only started circa 1977 so I can't say much about the earlier jocks.

Laffit Pincay is on the short list.

Cowboy Jack Kaenel, believe it or not. As good as any at getting a horse...

There is still the state of Cali to deal with that would still want its cut. They are one of the elephants in the room.

I've seen that guy bet many times and I am not at all impressed by his abilities there - very, very average. He seems to be good at other agent talents, like running interference and schmoozing...

I definitely want to hear the call. I'm not able to view anything in Hi-Def (which would probably make all the difference) so the call certainly helps me track horses buried in the pack, chiclets...

For the record, SA's current surface is a doctored variety of Pro-Ride. If you mean Polytrack specifically, then we're talking Del Mar. And it's odd that DMR, WOX and ARL poly seem to be different,...

Or the guy who was a cooler in the Spanish movie "Contacto".

Our local Joe Btfsplk gave the impression he was the curse. Yeah, if he had "your" horse, you'd better change your ticket. He even had...

Elaborate on "big fast move", please. Any kind of burst of speed or one for a closer winding up late?

Too many jocks have their mounts running wide on the final turn and the horses seem to kind of...

Dangerous for me, especially right at post time. One slip and you've left out one number, double hit a number and you've left that one out, too.

And (obviously) no change to his bad way of going.

You always get some kind of overlay on these types, since horsemen and the handicappers paying attention don't bet these, at least not very much....

But the guys on TVG "primetime" can't really be hated, either. Ignored, yes. The idea seems to be to have chatter that does nobody much good and doesn't entertain, either. Real safe.

kenwoodall2, you've lived in California too long. It storms plenty in the NE in the summer, taking grass racing with it. AP and Sar (for example) have been "off turf" enough times this year. Yeah,...

Against the alternative of buying a paper Form at 6 and half, what's to worry about if you apparently only want one track?
