Just breezed through it. It was nothing but fluff for the once a year horse racing crowd. I was actually suprised that there was no real feature on Devil May Care, but then I guess they would have had to get in to the whole Eight Belles tradgedy. I was happy for the guy with the bad hairpiece that won on Super Saver. But the real problem is that they don't promote the sport well enough. How bout instead of giving a guy 100k to make a bet. Give 400 people 250 dollars to play the pick four and see what happens. Show people that there are other bets that could be very profitable if played correctly. That's a more realistic scenario than regular people putting 100k on a horse to win. Once again the die hard fans get screwed having to endure with the fluff coverage and ridiculous time between the race. I wonder how many people think that's the way (talking about the time between races) it is at every track around the country every day of the week.
