Now we're talking. Let's do more than talk. I have not placed a bet on Calif tracks since last year's BC (mainly because of their insanity over track surfaces and the lousy racing product). Will not place another one until they recover from their madness and improve their product. Calif horse owners think that because they have some political clout that they can just take whatever amount of my money they want....I got news for them.
