Ghost of Horse Racing Past
I believed I posted this on another post.
This site is great if you are feeling nostalgic for horse racing the way it used to be. It goes state by state and gives interesting information about that states racing circuits and tracks to include old pictures of the track and current satellite images of where the tracks were located after the tracks were demolished.
They did a great job on the Mass fair circuit.

Most of the sites were contributed by PA posters...I just relisted them on Cool Racing Links, so they would all be on one thread...I'm really interested in the "powerhouse" sites because I don't want the thread to get too bulky...Most of the goodies I was unaware of also...and I'm sure there are many more out there...the PA "Borg Mind" collectively is much more interesting than any one of us individually...this thread is an attempt to "mine that Borg Mind for racings gold nuggets existing on the web" and perhaps elsewhere...your contributions are much appreciated!

Fascinating observation! However, I will not be assimilated. (Unless, perhaps, Seven is doing the assimilating).

Been trying to find it again--no luck. If anyone finds it or knows where to find it, please post.

I thought I did google it....probably googled "wager calculator" instead.
Thank you sir --the link if anyone else wants it.

Only problem with it---it only calculates down to $1 wagers....so if you only want to bet a 50 cent Pick-4....you're SOL

Just remember it's in Handicapper's Corner...I put it there because the threads seem to cycle through slower....thanks for the compliment...
