Meanwhile
At the same time, record wagering increases at tracks like Colonial Downs, Saratoga, Kentucky Downs
The opportunity is there if the environment is appealing as per the above and most of all, when the wagering opportunity is sensible enough if not very appealing
I have all the time in the world for interesting turf racing with large fields
California racing however is the opposite of appealing - given the stewards history but most of all it is clear that the trainers are few and suspected by most to be very problemental, and of course it is also apparent that they and their owners are deeply enmeshed in the system as well
So I'll watch Del Mar, maybe, and when I see a horse at a price that looks good in the paddock, I'll consider a wager
Santa Anita? Pass completely
California racing's future?
