you admitted just a few posts ago that you bet on horses swimming all the time. Must be due to the "randomness"

All I'm saying is, you guys act like Del Mar is getting rid of the black plague it once had, and horse racing is slowly eradicating it. There are a lot bigger issues with the sport, and I think the one with synth tracks is uber overblown. C'mon ATeam, when Keeneland starts up in April, let's go in on some picks you know you're gonna play it as hard as anywhere else you play.

Nah, I'm not. If there's one thing that gives me success, it's discerning between good betting opportunities and lousy ones. Until KEE goes back to dirt at least half their races are bad bets generally.

I dont believe people consider synthetic surfaces an issue, just an annoyance. I'm sure that expense is the chief reason that Del Mar is returning to dirt since they admit that their track needs to be overhauled. The fact that most racing people prefer dirt probably makes the decision even easier

Yes. It's a problem. I agree. Thankfully I will have more dirt in my future
