Early Bookmaking

Show the actual American pools....I took one look at the pools on DRF a few weeks ago and kept right on going. Any decent bet is basically playing against yourself. No thanks.

$15,000 in the win pool $16,673 in the exacta pool ... but there were two late scratches in the race - including the heavy favorite.

But yeah, you have to get pretty creative if you want to make big wagers at a track like that. The pools aren't any better on the weekends - in fact, they're worse.

Shame too, because super speed favoring synthetic tracks with live rails are as good as it gets for wagering conditions IMO.

There is too much racing. And it looks like a nice enough track. But you have to be an idiot to bet into those pools. I would consider playing them offshore if they didn't dump into the pools but guess what, that doesn't exactly help the racing industry.

No worries, money up front, and I'll book your action.

That's HANA's job last I checked.

I believe they surged from 66th out of 69 tracks all the way to 61st out of 69.

Big year.
