CAW teams need full fields to maximize their edge
Gural needs CAW teams to maintain handle numbers so that he has evidence that thw state subsidy is working.

It's scandalous and gamblers suffer

If you are a good enough handicapper you should beat the CAW every time. They only play the odds not the horses

The design is that they analyze final pools and can fire hundreds of bets instantly to smooth out any underpaid combinations or straight win bets based on deep analytics. If the CAW operates at 1% long term profit before rebates, no matter how good of a gambler you are, you are better off if they aren't there

Now you'll see even more cheap races and more cheap horses.  Some guys will load up a trailer load and enter even if they have no chance of finishing in the top five. I'll take an average of a $500 stipend to enter to race. So he makes a quick $3.000 minus some paddocks ( which he'll do most)  and some lasix( if needed). Curious about what other horsemen say when their horse ( who is a legit contender) doesn't get in for the fill-in has a better preference date. Should be interesting to see how this plays out. At least they are trying something. I did notice that it's a test.

Looks like a reward to finish poorly. I thought the reason of racing was to win except if your josh marks out east. They kicked that guy for winning  , actually it was Gareth Dowse who fell on the sword.

The meadowlands is the most advanced harness track around. It’s not what it used to be but tell me what track is?  I’ll go to my grave saying the meadowlands is the greatest harness track.

Two nights a week racing

trouble filling cards so they use amateur driver races and freehold horses

Gural picks and chooses who is allowed there

pretty much worthless until stakes season

the "handle" is a mirage when they give CAWs the signal for pennies

I could go on, but why bother?
