First off Thank you to Richie P for the compliment
on being able to win TODAY.
To Richard I will only speak from what I see.
At Del Mar They only show a few tracks for waging. The crowd is good but the room is small. There are a few hardy souls who sit outside but it is very chilly up on the third floor with winds coming off the ocean.
The crowd is almost 100% over 55 years old. Back when Richie and I
played at the Meadowlands we were in our late 30's and early 40's. We had lots of company in our age group. That is not the case today.
When I started and today I worry very little about takeout
What I see is racing as being dying from poor management for the last
20 years, They had a following but time has passed them by
I had 2 good days playing pick 4's and doubles this weekend, I was unable to go today.
But my buddy went and was going to play for me as a partner.
He played an early Pick 4 at Oaklawn, We lost , He said he left early.He said
it was too depressing seeing so few others there
