NJ Gov (reply) I don't recall the info in this link previously coming up on the Sphere, but pertains to (ex) Gov Corzine's attempt to get sports betting in New Jersey. Now I'm curious if Christie will continue the push and get a gaming law passed. This seems to be an ... |

Times (reply) If I have all my ducks in a row .... According to the race site post time is 1400 (2 PM). Googling "world time zones" - 5 hour difference = 9 AM here - turn back the clock to 8 AM. Also noticed that their grandstand seats only 6,000 so should be a ... |

Groom Camp (reply) redbowtie .... In your opening you mentioned that you "took the leap" to get involved with your first horse but did not mention where your trainer is located. If he's reasonably close, I suggest you ask him / her if you could join the stable for a week or ... |

Big M (reply) This quote from a gaming analyst was in yesterday's Phila. Inquirer and if the scenario plays out, is more bad news for The Meadowland's "gift" from the NJ casinos and ability to maintain their status as a "super track". (Sorry U .... no link available) ... |

ZERO pt.2 (reply) Bizarre?? You ain't seen nothin' until you look at these payouts. As a teaser, in race #9 six of the eight entries had zero bet to win on them. http://www.standardbredcanada.ca/racing/results/data/r1017eprn.dat |

Yet .... (reply) .... the Q City government is lobbying to have a new sports arena built in order to draw a hockey team back into the fold. The Nordiques stunk up the joint, couldn't draw a fan base, so moved to become the CO Rockies, yet the city will put up $50mil and ... |

Northville exacta (topic) I rarely question payoffs (publicly), but imo this one is worthy of a serious look by the judges and one I wouldn't have a clue how to explain to a new bettor. Last night 9th race - favorite off the board winner - $49.40 / place horse - $28.00 / exacta ... |
