I never, ever, ever, watch or wager anything on Mountaineer. Over the last 15 years I really cant think of one single time. HOWEVER....
Since this board brought to my attention this horse, I have been making it a point to watch her races. This leads to me taking a look at the card she is running on. Followed by.....me betting on a number of races!
She is no Arrogate or CC, but I am a fan of her. I like watching her run, and as a result of them carding these races I am getting more exposure to their product and wagering on it. So while the races themselves arent great betting affairs, I am betting else.

Good to hear. And I wish our primary motive WAS that calculated. But, in truth, it's not easy to put out a race card these days, so we keep writing whatever fills. And her race continues to draw warm bodies. The rest is a bonus.
