Looked deeper into exacta combos in R2 KEE today where the $ bet at least doubled in final cycle. Here are the combos, with the drop in probable and final payout reflected too. These combos accounted for 44% of all exacta bets in final cycle. https://t.co/PEXsUme5NN
RE: Mike's KEE R2 concerns... After just $103 bet over life of pool on the 7-5 combo up to second-last cycle, the probable pay was $1,333. The final cycle saw $446 bet on 7-5, dropping payout to $286. See grid below for final 4 Win & Exa cycles https://t.co/hv0bmjshTo

A few things... 1. Yes, that does look like $88 of bets were cancelled in final win pool on #7. 2. It appears unusual for win pool to grow and exacta to plunge without a CAW 2mtp stop in win pool. 3. 1.5% of final cycle exacta bets were on 7-5 combo.

Keeneland race 2 I’ve been watching Keeneland racing for over 50 years and exacta and trifecta prices in race 2 are the most questionable I’ve ever seen. Both seem impossibly low by my math and experience. @keenelandracing @KeenelandJim @Shanbisharv

In 2019, @AwayTheyGo teased the #RatingsHandicaps idea in a blog post that he penned for TIF The European method of ranking all horses, whereby races are written according to how each horse has performed at a given level, is an attractive consideration.

This is awesome!!!!! Six horses we raced or bred competed this week at @RRP_TBMakeover: Dynamic One Quantity Overwhelm Patou Road Sole Risk Money Magician Patou Road made the dressage finals - good luck to his new team!!!!! Our sport needs more outlets for retired racehorses.
At this year’s @RRP_TBMakeover there were 6 @RepoleStable graduates competing across a variety of disciplines. As someone that grew up riding & is so invested in the horses that I am lucky enough to work with, it was really cool to see them thriving in their second career!

🚨Potential legislative fix for horseplayers and all bettors as the text for WAGER Act from @RepAndyBarr has been filed. HR 4630 would amend the previous changes which, shockingly, reduced loss deductability to 90%.

Now that all of the top tier New York and California tracks have adopted transparent 2 MTP CAW cutoffs in their win pools, it’s time for other tracks to follow suit. This should be a *bare minimum* industry standard.

The Team. The Team. The Team!!!!! 💪 This Repole Stable family is the best in the industry. Thank you ALL for your relentless hard work and dedication. We’re not just a team……..we’re truly a family. ♥️ I may be biased, but the results and our success, speak for themselves.
@RepoleStable @keenelandsales Through Books 1 & 2, @RepoleStable averaged 20–40% below sire/book/gender benchmarks. Nearly the entire portfolio sits under market medians — and with elite pedigrees. While others chased the market, this team stayed disciplined and found value. Well done! 👊

GBI Racing - Just a tremendous disservice to bettors or anyone interested in catching the start of a race. A clip below from the G2 Champions Juvenile in Ireland today. This is what we get for replays too. Been absurd for a long time.
