Title: I used to go to the harness tracks 5x a week and bet pretty good
Post by: captaintreacherous on July 05, 2026, 01:31:40 PM

now......I find it almost impossible to win..

The CAW wagering really has hurt the Tbreds and Harness
bettors alike.

Who can bet when the odds drop to 1/5 at the 1/2 Mile Pole.
With sports at least I can get Fixed odds.
I used to make a few good scores every so often...
but now ...no chance...
I guess I forgot how to handicap.
I am not sure what these tracks will do to stay in business..
Gural puts on a good show....he is the leader from what I see.

Gural pioneered the inclusion of CAW

His broadcast proudly congratulated Elite Turf Club taking down pools.

You cant be anti CAW and want Gural as the "leader" are the same time

i completely agree people hate CAW but love Gural.  He has welcomed them with open arms.  One of the dumbest things Otten ever said (I think it was her), when she congratulated them for taking down a pool.  Clueless!

I thought it was the Stronach Group that advanced the CAW?
