You mentioned the Grand Slam wager which brought back memories of this summer. Sniper & I were standing at the rail after a race at Saratoga and this guy comes up and asks which horse won, we say the number and he is ecstatic to have won the Grand Slam...we look at his ticket and had he played the Pick 4, he would have nailed that too for a very nice payout...the guy was happy though, so that is all that matters.
I'm sure he wasn't too happy when he saw the payouts though since he thought the rules were the same as a Pick Four.

Anyone know how to get this to stream over an XBox 360? I was able to get the new Windows Media Player and Zune and could even play any clips I downloaded to my computer over the 360 but couldn't figure out how to get the live stream to work. If anyone has info please let me know. The sound on my stereo is just a little better than on my laptop.

Steve,

The show kicked major azz. It's rare to get such a good group all on one show and talk about the stuff you went into. I think we need more of this out there in the media. Your show blew away any of the other BS I see on TVG. The people who run TVG could learn a lot on how to put on a show that real race fans can appreciate. It's funny how the trainer suspensions/joke thing came up on the show and today Dutrow got a whopping 7 day suspension. Keep up the good work.

Any person with a web site should get this show linked ASAP. Very great stuff. Hats off to Steve for putting together a heavyweight lineup that was not afraid to speak the truth.

Apparently, talking about races from the 70s, banned posters, and a dead horse are more interesting to many. Not that those topics are bad, but many things brought up on the show should be discussed in detail.

CJ,

Thanks very much.. A majority of credit for assembling the lineup Wednesday, as well as helping me crystalize the issues discussed, goes to "BTW", Andy Serling.

While I'm new on the 'scene' and have ATRAB as an outlet for vocalizing concerns for racing's long term health, Andy has spent nearly two decades as an advocate for the game. He won't say so, but he tirelessly works 'behind the scenes' with the most influential people in the game pointing out inequities and opportunities.

(And while we're on the topic of dedicated people involved in racing, I'll take this opportunity to point out to DTers that "cmorioles" has become one of the elite 'figure makers' in the game, a new millenium Beyer/Ragozin/Brown as it were... Visit his Pace Figures to learn more about what CJ has crafted..)

Steve,

I caught the last hour of the Wednesday show on my way to work Thursday morning.

It was great, I cant wait to go home and download the rest of it so i can listen. Keep up the good work.

You, JJ and John do an outstanding job day in and day out. Thanks, finally a horse racing show that I truly enjoy!!
