Yep...I have long hated California racing...I really do...the tracks are not fair and the courses are like putting greens...some horses are nice and the trainers are solid, but the fields are absolutely HORRIBLE.....It is not even close to midwestern or NYRA racing IMO...not even close form a horse players standpoint...

THE SINGLE GREATEST MYSTERY IN OUR SPORT TODAY IS WHY IN THE HELL THE BIG PLAYERS SEE CALIFORNIA AS SUCH A GOOD BETTING PROPOSITION!!!! It is freakin' nuts and mind-boggling to see how much they bet out there, especially into the Pick 6s...seems like there is a 6-figure carryover everyday!!!....unreal and probably the single greatest phenomina in our game.....I will never understand it....I am a very regular player and I refuse to even look at California unless it is a big day out there....

I know the big conglomerate players are out there and that Vegas plyers like to wager on the Cali tracks, but why???....Must be a familiarity thing, or maybe they just know that they need to keep playing the Pick 6 out there because they can be assureed that everybody else will and the carryovers and pools are just too big to risk getting away from.....I will say that THE PICK 6 IS THE LONE ATTRACTIVE WAGER ON THE WEST COAST...period..IMO
