Default Andy/Jason: New BEL Paddock wrinkle...

Different approach to pre-race exchange just now to open Belmont card coverage... Andy and Jason talking about prices and wagering approach to the race rather than the usual "Horse A did this... Horse B did that..." routine.

Curious to see if it's a new approach..

is Andy now regularly working for NYRA on race days? If so, it is a great addition.

And he appears to be a kinder and gentler Andy. Jason doesn't look so askeered of him anymore

Seriously, good job BTW, SAR was enjoyable.

The TV show is always a work in progress but what we started today feels like a good idea. Obviously I'm in favor of gearing all information towards wagering and sharing strategies seems like the right direction.

I'm really happy with the changes we have made in the show since Belmont opened in May and everyone both on the air and on the TV crew has worked really hard to make things work. We are also planning to add some handicapping features to the website. Starting next week there will be a video segment on the NYRA Youtube site highlighting some interesting races from the previous week that might offer some horses to watch. I will be filming the first one with Eric Donovan on Thursday. Look for other additions in the near future.

I would love to see you illustrate a betting strategy that captures how you would structure a ticket for a race like today's 8th where RolltheDi was a reasonable long shot along with the logicals of 2,4 and 10. The exacta paid decently even with the key finishing second but how you get the most of hunches that a long horse is going to finish at least in the money would be very interesting.

The potential for weather to complicate a race is another potential opportunity to adjust selections on the fly where the change in the turf course may make a speed selection more desirable than earlier in the day. If you believe in that kind of edge I for one would like to hear about it as the best people to interpret the severity of changes are the people there.

I also couldn't agree more that you do a nice job on air and that you have certainly pointed out things that have benefitted my own play. We have crossed swords on occasion but it doesn't take away from the fact that you know your stuff and bring a very deep historical knowledge base to the table when your on.

I really think that our industry doesnt spend enough time promoting the actual betting or strategy of betting. Most public handicappers just give out picks, and when most tracks do publicity reports they dont talk about betting.

I think its important that we do talk wagering strategy, as it is just as important as picking who is going to win.
