Pretty crazy some of the stuff that new racing fans/drunken men who escape their wives can think up.

I remember you being pretty reluctant to discuss who you liked with people because you thought they'd move the pool. For NYRA tracks.

Or BC races.

I think it was closer to 20k or 30k.

And Turfway ain't NYRA.

You remember Mountaineer Mark, that mammoth douche. He can't even open his mouth about a horse without it dropping 5 points.

Why doesn't NYRA go back to using a house employee make the program analysis?

He's most likely asked to pick the winner he feels most confident in. That 'best bet' tag is a useless misnomer. Pretty sure if you asked Dave in person what his best betting prospect on a random day is, he wouldn't give you a 1/4 shot.
