Well, he's LOST a lot more money than Betfair ever will, but he's largely been a failure in racing so I guess that's to be expected. He's probably the biggest financial failure in racing in the last 100 years---hundreds of millions invested and he is probably the only one who LOST money on slot machines. What a genius.

I agree. I'm not a big fan of Frank but he loves the game, even if his passion is misplaced. The point was that Frank has much more skin in this game than BF ever will. Yes he may have failed himself and failed the sport but he keeps pumping it in. BF only extracts.

I'll bring this back up as there is more talk regarding Betfair this week at the CHRB meeting today and tomorrow. There is the continuation of the exchange wagering at Los Al discussion tomorrow near the end of the meeting, followed by the 2013 dates request and television coverage.
