Elephant In Room

Surprising these comments avoid the biggest negative for Cali racing: Indian casinos. They have tremendous political power, and will never allow slots in the tracks; as further demonstration, Calif...

I would add the controversy arises b/c tracks as tote company and simo outlet owners (getting a % of action) have given CAW exclusive advantages available to no one else. The most obvious and easy to...

This is incorrect. CAW's make their profit from rebates (10% or higher). Whether they actually show a profit is meaningless. Consider this: If u r getting a 10% rebate, would u rather use a system...

Aqu Gone

Let's face it; racing most places is a dying game. NYRA has made a brilliant move getting NY State to put up a 50 year commitment of $600mil for the new Belmont. Unlike many other states, there won't...

From track bias to hot/cold trainers, a key part of handicapping is identifying trends. I am not accusing Brown of anything nefarious; heck, for all I know there might be a virus sweeping his barn....

Hey, this might just be an unfortunate run , but don't you think someone on the NYRA show should alert bettors to this 1000-1 cold streak? They talk incessantly about all kinds of relatively obscure...

I am not accusing Brown of anything; let's just chalk his losing to a particularly unusual bad streak. As I noted, he is having a Hall of Fame career......however, should the poor performances of his...

Chad Brown

We all know that racing can be a streaky game, but I do think it is appropriate to note that leading trainer Chad Brown is now on a major losing streak. By my count, he has now lost with his last 18...

The virus is 5 months old, and much is unknown. I would say the declining curve in NY is a result of continued pretty extreme lockdown measures rather than herd immunity. The correct answer will be...

Certainly a logical result, though the loss to the Saratoga area would be total (at least with fan less racing, there would be some activity). Might be $500 million or more; which area will now be...

Nice article about fan less racing at Saratoga. It covers much of what has been mentioned here. I would add that "boutique" meets at Mth, and quite possibly, Kee would hurt the Saratoga entry box....
