He can get that identical trip every day at TAM on the turf. No need to leave the country.

That was basically the joke.

I've never really paid much attention, but doesn't Laurel simulcast races from Uruguay? Are there separate U.S. pools for those races?

Does anybody ever actually bet those things?

They do Santiago, San Isidro, La Plata, and Maronas. I cant speak for others but I bet them.

For some reason I am not that surprised

They have had a couple really nice cards from Argentina.

There is so little money if you are willing to go deep and have a solid opinion you can catch some very large exactas, tris, supers

Do they pay you in pesos?

The Bid · #10 03-11-2008, 11:14 PM

American currency. I would rather bet any of the South American tracks as opposed to Laurel whos feed they run off of

I bet them too, but the article is right when it says your info is limited. The Past Performances are in a DRF-style format, but it gives you no trainer or jock stats. Also no positions of the horses throughout the races, so you don't know if the horses come from off the pace or on it. No comments either.

You can hit some nice ones there though. They usually have big fields. No dime supers.
