People care about the quality of the horses they bet on, socal still is second in wagering yet I would say is probably lower 1/3rd in competitiveness and amongst the leaders in track takeout.

Yes, some people do and some people are just degenerates that will bet anything.

As far as the Ellis & So Cal arguements, I really have no handle on Ellis. I just don't pay close attention to that entire circuit. I have always been a NY guy (growing up there) and that's what I like to play. Does Ellis, go directly up against Belmont & Saratoga? I could see that being an issue. But that's why So Cal probably does well, at that time they are the best and really only game around.
