Thanks Ranchwest

You are right, the food down here is mighty tasty. Handicapping, eating well and getting out to the track as often as possible is a heck of a nice way to spend the winter.

Actually, odds manipulation could take another form. In my scenario, say people do as I suggest and start betting WP on a horse I don't like. That drives up the odds on other horses and I remove my...
