I am the first guy to love the purses that slots seem to have provided in the short run. They are not the answer and they have added more product, and the product sucks. More bad product that you cant bet are bad for the long term. Case in point:

With 10 seconds before the gates opened at Parx two days ago a horse for 4/5 in a 7 horse field.. The horse went off at 5/2 and the winner who was 5/2paid 5.60. This can't happen in NY. Only at a place were people dont bet can pools be this whacky. Great purses though I will give you that!
