I think most people would agree with me that Tom Aronson needs to be flogged to death.

It's all about dumbing down the bets to appeal to slots players. Next thing you know you'll be able to bet silks colors too... I'll take flamingo pink for a Benjamin

I wonder how the Keeneland superfecta "quick pick" has been doing? I haven't seen it emphasized at the track (in the programs, etc) I wonder if the casual betting folks even know it exists?

i wonder if any track has ever considered a 'box pick six' where the six numbers of the winners can come in in any order? that probably wouldn't go over well either tho...
