Another vote here for maiden claimers, though not necessarily the ones at Calder. Turf races, even better. So I guess it's always only me and cj ever playing these things.

Notice that this passed 44-0.

Except for intrastate transactions, Federal law, which has always exempted racing, is trumped by this? I don't think so. So this means Emerald Downs can't send its...

Very disappointing , yes; an "all-all-all-all" ticket would have cost 3920.

Most people are in the exotic pools, and not at all in the straight pools. I don't think straight vs. exotic odds relate...

That would be Mr. & Mrs. Robert Walters. Mrs. Walters named all the horses IIRC. Nice to see he's taken care of, but I figured (hoped?) he would be. Boy, that mid-day sunlight makes horses look...

Bay Meadows has a promotion for some Friday nights where they advertise $1 beers, sodas and hot dogs. Sounds good on the surface, but . . .

It is not surprising that they found such tiny dogs of...

Speaking of state law (or not), would you really be required to have a photo finish camera? The decision of the judges/stewards has always seemed to be the determining factor, particularly in the...

Yeah, I tend to go with the thought that the first jock is jumping ship. I've seen this happen in the last race where after a long delay the horse would be scratched since any extra riders had...

Duh, yeah, it's Wrona. Too much flu medication.

Baze always liked to go wide. It doesn't seem like he is getting the pick of the horses like he used to, so the Baze plans don't always coincide...

If we get honestly reported workout times, it will change that part of the handicapping picture.

For point 1, fundamentals might be the saving grace there. If there is something to make you suspect that there is a hole in the horse, there is stupid money to be taken advantage of.

It's probably funding for the committee to study if a new timer is needed.

Depends on how the agreement of how the split is made between the track and state. 200+ a day per machine isn't bad to me, since there are probably only a handful of employees including minimum wage...

He has been seen long ago with his collar up and a hat shoved down over his head at N. Cal tracks. If anyone was recognizable to horseplayers, wouldn't it be Jack Klugman?
