Saturday June 29
No show wagering on races 2, 3 and 6
Not a good way to help the handle

if the bet isn't made on track--whatever ADW who received the bet must take the hit for the minus pool

According to Mike Antonaides the program director,  Jeff doesn't want the risk of the minus pools!

Would lose their ass on Karl.  Someone might bet a million on that show bet.

Have no business in carding 5 horse fields. Maybe they should fill those races with more "Turn and Burn" races! Or maybe a Camel race?

They are stake races only have so many options on field size

Agree but why run them on your regular card as betting races?

Ok..What value does running these 5 horse fields have regarding betting pools? Make them non betting early races. All they do is generate minus pools!

If you believe you are going to get a minus pool. Put your $100k in the win pool

I'm smart enough NOT to risk 100K for 5 cents on the dollar!. I like my money too much!
