There were three of us who used to sit together and compare handicapping at Arapahoe Park. There was a time when the racing was fertile, and there were days when the three of us were 2-3% of the handle. Basically we overwhelmed the smaller bettors. We estimated there weren't more than 50 people betting at least $100 a day. The average Arapahoe Park bettor was pushing about $56 a day through the windows. In my time at Arapahoe I can remember only a small handful of bridge jumpers, and no noticeable whales. Of course, Arapahoe isn't what it used to be, in my opinion due to bad management and small fields. I rarely go now, instead focusing on the NY tracks. I'll have to admit my enthusiasm for horse racing waxes and wanes through the year.
