But yes, I'm sure the "system" could use $$$ and an upgrade.

The hub that FG was using in Houston went down just before the Louisiana Derby was to be run in the year that Fifty Stars win it for Asmussen. You could bet it if you were off-track, but not if you were at Fair Grounds. It was incredibly frustrating, although I was glad I couldn't bet it after Steve's bomb won.
