The difference was noticable bigtime derby/oaks day. win pools were significantly lower for the races not allowed to be simulcasted. Derby might have been ok, but the rest of the card's pools were way, way down.
From what I heard, you couldn't even get a bet in on Twin Spires. So comedy.

Problem is that these people were given fish and got fat on them, they were never taught HOW to fish.

So can someone please tell me why I am shut out of Belmont today sitting in an OTB in Cambridge Maryland where I bet Belmont since it opened at Laurel and Delaware Park.

Del. Park owns this place and I can bet CD but not Belmont. No video obviously for Calder when they run as well.

Was there a story I missed about NY tracks bonding with the horsemen from Calder and CD or did I just enter the twilight zone?

Glad I capped the whole card in NY today and actually liked the opportunities!!

Any ideas!!

I think I know what the problem is.

The sport is dying.
