I tuned in last night for a couple of races, and here's my impression:
Ups:
- full fields
- decent camera work
- hosts are okay, take turns calling the races, one is a Korean gal, and the other a Limey.
- nice, relaxing piano music between races versus the "noise" some American tracks prefer
- takeout in win pool appeared to be around 20 or 22%, which seems about par with Australian and South American racing - hub in Toronto?
Downs:
- small pools
- speed figures in PPs and online appear to have little or no relation to predicting a horse's chances
- host hub clicks tote to the next race before the horses even reach the finish line - very annoying
- some odd payouts, with 21 cents for a 20 cent super in numerous races, and at least one with a $1.05 exacta and tri. So if nobody has the winning combo, they don't appear to pay "all" partial combos.
I think I'll be saving my dough for September when Hong Kong is back.
