It sure seems like SAR exactas and tris are paying much, much better than they have been w/ the caw changes.

Haven’t bet exactas in a few years but loved playing them this opening weekend!

Thank you @TheNYRA

@CliffordAsness @IngrahamAngle @WSJopinion If socialism’s surge is due to affordability issues, as they say, the blame goes to rampant Dem gov’t spending in 2021-2022 creating inflation more than anything.

This group has way too much of the “oppressors vs oppressed” bs driving them also, so it’s likely a combo of both.

@derby1592 @EllisParkRacing The caw’s ran wild at CD … it’s company policy

@EJXD2 @MonmouthPark Nothing slips by Fact Check Ed!

@TravisStone @garypaljr @ChurchillDowns @WLKY Announcer awesome, turf impressive, main track too - yesterday had a horse come from 20 lengths back one race after a front running gate to wire win.

Meet was great overall only issue is caws crushing prices in all pools and no one knows the real odds until after the bell.

@BeemieAwards JB you were asking for ?’s.
I’ve always wondered why at times 8 horses have to sit in the gate for 2 minutes while the really difficult to load #5 or #10 acts up. Seems unfair.
Why not empty the gates and wait for the hard to load horse to go in first, then load the others?

[NOLA Railbird @NOLArailbird]

@theTDN If they’re betting hundreds of millions a yr and staying in business that means they’re not losing money.

If they’re not losing money they’re within the rebate margin.

If they’re within the rebate margin that means other bettors are losing more than they otherwise would.

@HorseToWatch Friday first race at CD winner is 5/2 going into the gate 8/5 coming out of it.
Thank you NYRA.

@racetrackandy @DailyRacingForm @DRFHegarty Andy the drop in handle essentially proves the allegations in the lawsuit, no?

If they don’t bet the same amount without last minute access it shows their models are built on setting the final odds, and thus knowing exactly how much they have to bet on each combo.

[NOLA Railbird @NOLArailbird]

@HorseToWatch @DailyRacingForm I wonder if it’s multiple teams pressing late second win bets too much and they overdo it

[NOLA Railbird @NOLArailbird]

@HorseToWatch @DailyRacingForm I know it’s not much but the 4 was actually favored by a little in the p3, yet went off 5-2 vs 2-1 on the 8, implying both should’ve been similar odds and yet 8 went off lower

[NOLA Railbird @NOLArailbird]

@jonathanstettin @NYRA Watching CD odds get crushed by caws today is a giant contrast isn’t it

[Jason Beem @BeemieAwards]

@NOLArailbird @Jorgeloco_ one of my faves from River Downs, the last horse, Two Step Partner

[NOLA Railbird @NOLArailbird]

@BeemieAwards @Jorgeloco_ That’s wild! He wanted to go for a swim! 😂

[NOLA Railbird @NOLArailbird]

@BeemieAwards @Jorgeloco_ There’s a great chart from years ago at the Fair Grounds where a horse struck a goose and the chart guy had a hilarious comment, I need to find it.

[NOLA Railbird @NOLArailbird]

@ToddTTV @BeemieAwards Really enjoyed it.
I think Jason is spot on too, it’s the phones …

[NOLA Railbird @NOLArailbird]

@ScatoniSureShot @santaanitapark Frank, I forget, is the p3 “retail only?” Even if not, it seems to be working with better payouts.

Would love SA to go to a $1 pick 4 too, really $2 would be even better, but they’d get some pushback.

@JohnGDooley @fatbaldguyracin @HSIndyRacing @RacingRachelM @HSIndyTammy @ericahalstrom @MrBAnalyst For sure I’m pounding away

Was not trying to bash I know y’all are in a tough spot

[NOLA Railbird @NOLArailbird]

@fatbaldguyracin @HSIndyRacing @RacingRachelM @JohnGDooley @HSIndyTammy @ericahalstrom @MrBAnalyst I bet a lot on your $1 pick 4 (love it) and the low takeout p5 but that’s pretty much it.

[NOLA Railbird @NOLArailbird]

@fatbaldguyracin @HSIndyRacing @RacingRachelM @JohnGDooley @HSIndyTammy @ericahalstrom @MrBAnalyst Love @HSIndyRacing but their handle is suffering because there’s no way I’m betting there when, for example in the first race today, a horse is 5/2 going into the gate and wins at 8/5.
This is costing you a lot of handle imo.

This happens way too often.
