This brings up a question, especially for Richie, about the examples and practice races in the original Matchup Forum. It seems that most of the races Ritchie and the Hat worked were not at the "big" tracks (NYRA, So. Cal., etc.) but more what I would call blue collar tracks.
Was that because of Jim's bias or taste, or the Matchup was more suited for that kind of racing, or just coincidence?
