I remember well...

Tracks, OTBs, Wire Rooms were packed, if you couldn't watch live you placed your wagers and called in results, or received the next day in the sports section.

The Big M, Yonkers, wall to wall people.  If you didn't have a vehicle they had these private van services carting your ass there and taking you home, gave you betting and food vouchers so it was basically free.

The handle starting slipping so they started manipulating wager amounts, didn't work, I remember a $3 tri at Yonkers lol.

That 714 tri scandal at Yonkers that got Lachance banded and packing for the BigM was a blow, Herve on another too with the Feds and they dropped the race tampering and went for the tax evasion.  I think around then they added the passing lane to make it more competitive. 

They co-existed in a world with Jai alai and dog racing.

Simulcasting, the first big lifeline, lots of in fighting who would receive what signal.

The SPORTS EYE - a great past performance.

Milkshakes, and the needle were the ped then until the veins collapsed.

Some OTBs up north in NY you could get track prices, some bookies at the OTB too.

Jate Lobell had one hell of a very long winning streak and raced quite frequently.

Some of y'all predecessors kept fucking it all up, ceaseless greed and corruption 

What a bunch of Trump Retards and Fox News Dummies.

I'll be at the Rangers game tonight at MSG and Kennedy Center next weekend.

Greatest city in the world. Center of the fucking universe.

look no further than London, England, does NYC want that?

He looked sensational winning (as you said, in a monsoon!).  The horse also looks beautiful and is simply rigged and exceptionally calm and well-behaved after the race (not the signs of a horse that has been fueled up!).  I think he will go to the BC and face the Burke Brigade.  From two to three is an enormous opportunity for horses to change (physically and also in how they behave); if Beau Jangles keeps up with his peers in physical growth/development I think he can become an "inner circle" top pacer.

Chantilly, tonight, won, but did not look all that great racing.  It is clear that she has "on and off" weeks.  I hope she brings her "A" game to the BC, as I think when she is right, she is at the top of her class.  Might have a very powerful group of 4yo and up pacing mares next year.

If both are 100%, she is not Miki And Minnie. The qualifier did not make me think Miki And Minnie is back to 100%.

The Ohio State Racing Commission does not have the bandwidth to be an effective governing body!!
