It's possible that when NYRA switched tote providers from Scientific Games to United Tote (about two years ago,) the software that the SoCal ITW had wasn't compatible with United Tote's. Maybe that bug has since been fixed. Or, maybe your ITW location simply screwed up and stopped showing the pools. I've heard how the SoCal ITW's can be a little half-assed (sorry Black Ruby.)
