I’ve made my opinion known many times that if racing in California ended tomorrow I could care less and this is one of the reasons. Take a look at the 7th today and explain to me how there is a moderate pace in there.

What were the riders of the 2 and 4 doing? How was the 4 dead last early?

How can anyone make a bet with any kind of confidence there?

Close it down and sell the land. Let guys like Mario Gutierrez have to try and make a living somewhere else.

I would be super surprised to see Mario riding for Baltas in the near future. I played a P4 ticket and my first pass I had all the runners in this leg except for the 6. I trimmed my picks to the 3 & 5 and worried about the 1. I culled the 2 and 4 based on Jocks and McAnnally prepping horses off the lay off. Needed a spread in the 8th and went 5 deep to get the long shot. Mario didnt even look like he wanted to get this horse up front leaving the gate......
