5/8 mile race

[Muggsy Mitty]

And the Big Dog won it and paid 100

[Locked in with pace]

So do they keep it and have one next week? The handle for that 5/8 mile race was way off. Do the CAW computer algorithms bet into 5/8 mile races. IF NO, THIS non mile RACE WILL ALWAYE BE LOW FOR CAW betting IS AROUND 70% OF THE TOTAL HANDLE.

Are we surprised that two of the biggest morons to put on colors got into a speed duel?  Lignin leon and bouncin Tyler

Whats the next great idea they are not scared to try? Shining strobe lights into the horses faces as they turn from home in the last race on the card?

[Grandstand Handicapper]

For whatever reason, longer races always appealed to me more than shorter races. I think with all things considered, sprints, short races, whatever, are more gimmicky.

[pocketrocketwinner]

I believe the CAW's AI/algorithms could not effectively work in a short race so they stayed out of the pools entirely. With that, we saw handle on the races about half of what it would have been at the standard mile. Coincides with the conjecture that caws probably do make up half the pools there

Does this mean that the 'real' bettors bet into 'real' pools and got maximum value on their betting dollars?

To me, it means the gimmick won't last. Of course, Jessica Otten said on ait tonight that more people liked it than didn't. But. Handle was terrible on the race. The bullshit from this place never ends

Liking it is one thing, putting actual $$$ behind these races is another!

If harness is a spectator sport then yeah. But it's a gambling game that is rarely treated as such by management.

Poor Handle in the race. ONE AND DONE. Not listed on next week's condition sheet.

[gh2009]

 On events 16 & 17 for trotters it says, "may go to 1 1/8 miles"

Absolutely. This has been the debate for some time. The trend of extremely low attendance and live handle should make that perfectly clear.

T bred bettors seem to handle different distances and surfaces, are buggy people not that sophisticated

Well the breed it based on the mile. It's right in the name "Standard" bred. To be registered they needed to trot a mile and meet the standard time set.
