Would love to see the names (read: syndicates) of those who are cashing big tickets in the Pick 4 and Pick 5 pools in New York and California.

Thanks for sharing, BLUE.

When first offering attractive rebates in the 1990's. the race books in Las Vegas and eventually racetracks nationwide, tilted the playing field in favor of the high-volume player at the expense of the little guy in the grandstand and clubhouse.

Hard to turn back now.

The racetracks are now wedded to the syndicate money which, in effect, establishes the market at most major racetracks.

Today, I'm leery of short-priced horses in races involving million-dollar carryover pools.

The syndicates, I believe, have figured out a way to benefit from odds-on favorites losing.

They don't need match betting, they simply drain the pari-mutuel pools.

Watch them bust the little guys at Penn National and Mountaineer Park and leave the big boys alone.

Kind of like the powers-that-be at the NCAA basketball offices when they placed Centenary on probation and allowed Kentucky to run free.

I thought David Aragona's tweet about the 7th race at Saratoga yesterday was interesting. Certainly not a good look for NYRA that their linesmaker is alluding to something amiss in the way the race was run.. He said if this race was run in Europe there would be questions asked by racing officials.
