Track Phantom full card analysis for @santaanitapark is available for Sunday 2/9. Reminder there is an early post (11 AM PST) due to the Super Bowl.

The funny thing about gamblers (which I know from experience) is they are resistant to economical swings. They always find a way to keep swinging. My comment was less about dealing with those hurt financially but with those that were not hurt financially and wanted to transfer their betting action from sports, casino, etc. to the only viable option, horse racing. That is where the opportunity was lost.

@Tinky47flat I believe the cost of a daily racing form was $2.00 when I started following in 1986. Certainly not blaming DRF as they are a business but the lack of free past performances is probably the biggest deterrent in attracting new players.

@EJXD2 @RepoleStable Exactly. I had people that never thought of horse racing reach out to me to ask for advice on how to get set up, read the data, etc. There was an opportunity to convert people but nothing happened to facilitate it.

@Classhndicapper @RepoleStable It's possible but there may be other ancillary consequences (i.e. less owners, less horses, less exposure in different markets to promote involvement and so on).

#6 at Tampa Bay Downs race 7 is currently 10-1. It will be the favorite in the end. There is zero minutes to post right now and they are approaching the gate. Toteboard manipulation.

@bernielootz34 @SwiftHitter If So Cal was able to double their purses, and Kentucky also doubled their purses, he'd be saying the exact same thing. They overspend on horses, overspend on training and medications, race to seldomly and then complain they can't be profitable.

@NTamm1215 Thanks for the reply Nick. If possible, would like to meet you while there just to say hi.

Tampa Bay Downs race 4 (1/31): In the gate at 17-1, wins at 5-1. Would love to see the minute by minute betting changes.

@JonKrawczynski Wow. Could lose this game outright.

@Hinesite Wow, is that some grade A garbage.

The Minnesota Vikings were last in the Super Bowl in 1977. Since then, the three teams remaining in this years playoffs have been there 14 times (5 PHI, 5 KC, 4 BUF). It's about to be 15 times depending on who wins in KC/BUF. Being a Mn sports fan is taxing.

Need #2 Strutting in the last for a frozen rope p5. Paying $1,056 for .50c

Want to know how certain PEDS look in action? Check race 4 at Santa Anita. #6 San Saba duels for the lead, gets passed, running up and down and reengages to win. It slows the fatigue process.

Santana's ride on #1 Quietside at OP race 9?!?! Connections must hate money.

@fatbaldguyracin You just described my last week of betting on the races. 😀 Hope you feel better soon!

@JonKrawczynski 4 baskets in the 1st Q against the G-League Mavericks. Poor effort.
