This was the time when the big races on the west coast was the 3rd, 4th or 5th race. A time when simulcasting started to expand.

Yea, I am in Phx and we could only get three socal races per day and basically that was it. That expanded to like 5 in 93'. I dont think it went full card until about 96'.

Other than the triple crown races I am not sure we took bets on any other races from non socal races for about 3-4 years after 92'.

In some thoughts simulcasting watered down the interest in the sport to just a cheap way to gamble. Before simulcasting, people would take time to go to the paddock, read the form and you can actually hear people cheering. I will miss Friday night racing at Hollywood Park. That was part of my childhood and I always looked forward going to it.
