I might be in the minority but I find that the racing over the last 2 mos. Without the big guns is actually a much better product for wagering.
I say this because you can toss out at least half of any field simply because the pilot is easy to identify as one that you really can’t bet.
When the guns are here, literally every horse has a good quality driver aboard and you can never toss out a horse because of a substandard driver being on board. This concept applies to the amateur races as well as many of them are auto tosses.
Curious if anyone one else agrees with this?
