the people that usually bet Navarro horses more than likely stayed away from that stiff and might have bet something else to the race. but a regular gambler that's not in the know using pace numbers and regular handicapping could easily get trapped on that one.
ultimately the guy that is not in the know with all these top trainers is going to be paying more takeout than the guys that are in the know. throw in a little breakage and the guy that is picking cold has a major problem. this is not taking into consideration what batch bettors and bell bettors can do this guys bankroll.
this is a perfect way to lose customers of the sport. i am gone for now along with a few others that i know.

Getting rid of jail was another thing that was supposed to be good for bettors but really only helps horsemen and gives us more shitty races to bet on.
