Default ATRAB (1/31): Special Edition

Don't wan't to "jump the shark" promoting tonight's "At the Races", ("Tonight... on a very special 'Blossom'"), but we have a rather fascinating show lined up..

It's a Special Edition entitled "MUTUEL INTERESTS" and will feature 6 of the most insightful and thoughtful minds and voices in Thoroughbred Racing...

Andy Serling..

Ted Mudge..

Jerry Brown..

Steve Crist..

Maury Wolfe..

Andy Beyer..

30 minutes with each as they vocalize what they consider Racing's most pressing issues, how to address them and what the future holds...

Should be well worth listening to...

Internet only 4-7pm, (SIRIUS 125 replays 1-4am and 4-7pm tomorrow..)
http://www.attheracesandbeyond.com (Click on LISTEN LIVE)

To be re-played on SIRIUS as well in next few weeks...

Default dt faithfull..im i little disappointed..

the range of steller guests on atrab today ..the huge news that came out of it..makes me wonder about the loyalty of our group..to get said guests and ask the questions that were asked..was unbelivable..to have these icons on one show was a treat...for all bettors and people who love racing..i just think that our group as a whole did not really step up to the plate and thank the very person who made this show and this site so great..you had our own andy/steve crist/andy beyer/jerry brown/ted mudge/ are you kidding me....tg is about wage war against a certain entity..taking his huge money players in a boycott..i mean this is all huge stuff.....

I for one thank mr byk for his relentless support of this site and the 'game' in general.. hooves..

Hooves,I listen sometimes,but they continue to play audio of the race calls of stakes races we already know the result of.If you add that to the commercials,there is quite a bit of pain to go through in order to get to the pleasure......It's a Mixed bag.

What station, what time, what day? I'm very busy most of the day and have to be at work early every mourning. I guess I don't eat, sleep and dream horse racing as much as others. I use it to relax not as a job but as a hobby.

O.K.,listened to the archive of Wednesday's interview with Brown.I mentioned this CO2 gap when Oracle asked about Mitchell going to the detention barn 12/18.Tons of these guys are giving their horses these alkalizing agents,and remaining under the limit of Co2 of 36,or 37.The horse(on his own is about 30,or maybe 31,)and these guys give them tablets(Mullins says they are for their stomach) to get their CO2 to 34,or 35.Once in a while,the horse gets dehydrated etc.,and they exceed the limit of 36,or 37.They give them a huge gap from 30to36,or 37(to cheat with no punishment.)The track knows these guys cheat(by running 34-35,)but they set the limit at the high extreme of 36,or 37,because that level is way too high to be gotten naturally.This is why these trainer/owners (you might call them no names) can't win races.Their horses are running at 30 co2 levels,and Mullins and many others are running horses with CO2 levels of 34 or 35.When you see some Joe Blow claim a horse,and they can't come close to what the previous trainer's beyers etc. were.....well,now you know atleast 1 of the reasons for that.Take note of the guys Periban claimed those horses away from,and miraculously turned around(earlier in the Anita meet.).Most likely,those low profile guys weren't using any alkalizing agents at all.

Default Here, here !

I couldn't agree more. I only listened to the first hour on replay tonight, but was greatly encouraged by Jerry Brown putting his $ where his mouth is. I had read sparingly some articles in regards to just below the threshhold testing out west. I havenot heard a more down to earth realist perpective in quite a while and was impressed. Can't wait to listen to the other 2 hours.

Steve, you've done yoemans service to the game in organizing this program. I thank you .

Matt

Part of the problem today is the radio blackout or delay to public access of wednesday shows of ATRAB which will end valentines day. Another reason why there hasn't been the props deserved on this site for such a great collection of personalities and dominant figures in the game is simply marketing. This was a show worthy of a few bucks of advertisment by Sirius for ATRAB as the quality of the discussion was that good.

Byk is the dominant voice for the "player" of the game of horse racing. I for one would not be in the game as a fan or a player, and now with the syndicate a minor owner, if it were not for Byk's success as a creative and innovative betting mind who is more like the "regular guy" with an education and the energy to use it than the fat cats who use their wallet to get an edge. I for one am eternally grateful for Byk"s ethics and morals. The game is a better place because of him .....and for shows like today!!!
