Certain bets aren't for everyone. The pick 6 is one of them. I just don't think horse racing needs to make the track and it's bets resemble a carnival. It needs to focus on what makes it unique and great.
You been there? I happen to think it's a great facility. Yes, there are things that were not thought out well (the saddling enclosure out of view of the patrons), but others that are (the slot machines are out of the way).

Thank you sweet lady. I liked that one too, but it probably wouldn't have worked. Warner Brothers used to have a tv show by that name so I imagine that the name might have been copyrighted. Dating myself by remembering tv shows that were on 50 years ago.

I remember The Defenders, but I don't think I ever watched East Side West Side, but I seem to recall it was about a social worker? I'll have to look that up.
