If they would only let us bet into their pools.

I would only wager on HK races.

It'll happen eventually. At this point in time, the only ones even close to getting it in the US are the KEE group. Their racing is top quality, their video impeccable, and they've gone to lengths to ensure the accuracy of their data (unfortunately at a cost.)

I see poorly run tracks closing down or being taken over by better management teams. There's no excuse for a track not offering online video or data of its races. And, certainly, inconsistent timing of races, the GP specialty, is a flat out embarrassment. As are the PARTIAL headon replays over at SA. (Saving on tape, are we?)

As the print DRF crowd is eventually weeded out, and those expecting accuracy as well as a high level of technology move in, the US tracks are either going to have to catch up or get toasted, as they lose customers to HKG and others. There also won't much use for parasites like Equibase.
