Rule of Thumb for wagering at Keeneland

[pba1817]

People, I am posting this again because I posted it on the second page of this thread and it seems that everyone is missing the real point of Polytrack, at least the reasons for it in California.


http://www.chrb.ca.gov/

Read the sections, Administration Hearings and Complaints/Accusations.

IMO, this is the real reason the people in control are leaning to Polytrack, and thats to hopefully reduce/eliminate the necessity for trainers to cheat just to get their horses healthy enough to be competitive. Yes there is the fact that the people who manufacture and produce the Polytrack are going to profit as well, but I do not think the conspiracy runs that deep.

Do you all remember when Jeff Mullins said anyone who bets on horses is a moron or stupid???? Well he knows exactly what is going on out there on the backside at racetracks and he was simply trying to be honest and do people a favor... The game in its current form its not on the up and up, maybe it never has been, but right now the cheating is out of control.

Thats nice to believe but don't you think its because of the supposed savings on track maintenance moreso than anything else?

Economics are a part of it too. California racing is in poor shape.

I find it hard to believe that economics arent ALL OF IT!!
If they cared so much about hosrse health, why didnt they give us a deeper surface years ago? Just deeper dirt.

I think that might just be a case of trying to put the cat back into the bag....

The TOC(Thoroughbred Owners of California) obviously cares about horse health, they own the dang horses, the TOC is a large part of the CHRB(California Horse Racing Board) with TOC members holding positions on the CHRB board of directors. So no, I do not believe that this is all about economics.

If that does not make any sense to you, then you do not understand whats going on in California racing...

I do not know the reasons the Keeneland people decided to go to Poly, if it was the speed favoring track or what, but I know why they are doing out in California.

In California it has got to the point in which the trainers need to drug their horses, usually illegal amounts, so they can be competitive. Along with training the piss out of them with 1:11 or 1:12 6f works just so they can stay in touch with the pace of the races. It is breaking the horses down at a significant rate.
