Just 1 LW itt
LOL, yes I foolishly thought it was me you were referring to as LW in your post.
But like so many of your horse betting tips, it wasn't making any sense....
Thanks for clarifying.

So now with the escalation of drama and the legal proceedings, anyone can see there were many failures regarding the employment contract and compensation and so many mistakes were made on both sides of the dispute in that regard.

I hope calmer heads prevail and I hope she gets her money and the breeding rights she is seeking. She needs the money a lot more than that idiot owner.

So many lessons to be learned from these shenanigans. So much greed in Racing.

Delta Downs last night - i think it was the 8th race - no contest because they didnt get the gate off the track. this is the same track that cancels several cards a meet because the electricity goes out and they never upgrade the system, happens every year. really nobody in horse racing cares. just keep the slot money coming

Saw that pdiggz and got a laugh. Think you described this to me about Delta 4+ years ago with the power itt because i could not figure out with no weather in the area why the hell the lights were out. I have no idea how Delta conducts business except for what they show and the product shown is not of any interest to me.

Took my B three $$ and put it on Rousey U 1.5 rds

Smell like ape chit long enough you start to believe your King Kong...See if she regroups.

I loved Holm in that fight. That line was screaming Holm... If Rousey was a "lock" she would have been somewhere around -10000 not -2000.

What are the betting limits on NYRA races? Because if you go to their website, you can raise your bet without any limit, it appears. I tried to ask live chat, but nobody answered.

There has to be a maximum bet, so any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks. Sounds devilishly fun.

I had a $13 balance, and being semi-superstitious, I threw away $3 on a random horse in an Oz race, 12:1 odds, and woke up the next morning with a nice surprise! Depositing and cashing out were free, so lightning fast. Love that.

Looks like Xpressbet has HD Video for several tracks starting today. I was not aware there was a video quota that could be reached and i understand that viewing HD will make you hit that quota quicker...Have to rethink this imo i do not think you should be penalized for watching MORE of YOUR product is that not the point?

I know myself when it comes to a Wednesday i choose to wager at AQU over CHD because NYRA has HDTV for free without silly restrictions for viewing.

QFT!

Just catching some ATR and knew the Del Mar PK6 was hit for over 140K but did not know it was Ron Paolucci (Looch Racing) and hoping ATS was part of the crew who threw in the $650 to get your taste of the cake...Paolucci seems like a cool cat and i know last year he gave out a 11-1 winner and guarantee to go with it at GP last year on ATR talking with Steve. Say what ya want about Ron but he throws it on the table.

Wednesday yet

How come there are no A tracks running on Mon or Tue? Is it to give the smaller tracks their day,or because it just has always been done this way?

Are the smaller tracks the ones keeping the old face of horse racing in the new minds of fans and is this hurting the sport or is the C track needed in some other way?

I mentioned a year back about imo the sport is on a path of consolidation and i guess with those questions i wonder if that is a bad thing for the future of the sport or is it the future of the sport?

If you had a rotation of A tracks to wager on 7 days a week if it is say 6 tracks would that be more appealing or the model as is is fine with several to choose?

I am of the opinion horse racing is the best sport going period and would want to put my best product and face out there as often as possible.

My take.

These old schedules are so old they never recognized wagering accounts or internet gambling.

The dark days were presumably to meet the front side staffing requirements and to meet labor standards.

Big tracks chose Mon & Tues to be dark as the handle was lowest on these days- least profitable.

But racing does not need 24-7 exposure to survive.

NFL is basically Sundays only and its gambling fan base is huge.

Racing has always been very conservative and still remains that way. Racing needs a more progressive business model or it will die a slow gradual death.

Racing needs to better understand and develop what customers want and expect from racing in the context of ever-increasing competition for the entertainment dollar. This should be the top priority.

Appreciate the response LW and i would like to offer some additional thinking maybe. The sport right now IS a 24/7 product and because it is i do not understand and i do not think it does the sport any favors not to offer an A track each day. I can get down on a track 24/7 but on 2 days the tracks are all C,D etc.

Talking to a person on Night School on Tuesday and like myself they consider their days off as Mon,Tue each week when obv they are running at C tracks. I think they along with myself would prefer the option of an A each day and with the ADW being their top money maker because it sure as heck is not on track attendance outside a weekend date. I am of the opinion you would not saturate the market because each track offers something different.

NFL a good example as they have added a Thur to the schedule because the base screamed for it and the players hate it but it makes the league $$ so they are deaf to players ears. They are also looking to expand to England with 1-2 teams in near future. Might not be a more popular sport going but i can not stand it because it has got so damn soft i just listen to them on the radio.

Lots of ideas and horse racing is sitting on a ton of good ones with old thinking and it just frustrates me. Glad they got us exchange wagering going though after saying we would oh 4 plus now

TS on the clock i know this. Outside of PP's what do you offer that can compete with your competition atm? Need to get HD Video up and have it going asap because it is night and day between the 2 and when the physicality of a horse is a key determining factor in a wager and structure it helps a ton. Tick tock.

anyone check out R3 at Laurel today? 1A (1 was scratched) was an auto-winner on paper, big drop notwithstanding, like 12 lengths better than anyone else. goes at 2-5 or 1-5 and was probably never within 12lengths of the front, in fact trevor mccarthy the jockey probably could have run around faster. total defrauding of the betting public. jamie ness horse. laurel park vet requirements must be has 4 legs. i think thats major fraud. laurel park should be completely embarrassed they let something like that go on. this should get investigated. just ridiculous. you have to have some trust if a horse runs they are healthy - obv not the case here. and not claimed either so you know all the horsemen knew what was going on. total bs. might as well be betting on wwe. **** jamie ness **** laurel

That's why you don't bet 2-5 shots... Especially in a $7500 claiming race.
