Turf writers and what to bet
Turf writers have been trying to convince us forever that only Stakes races matter.
That's a big reason the sport is in the shape it's in.
When I was young, many years ago, people enjoyed betting horses from just reading the entries in the newspaper.
It didn't matter the Class. People wanted action.
Turf writing authorities have done the game no favors by only talking and writing about Stakes.
The tracks pay the same way - no matter the level - and a race is just as exciting when your money is on the line and they're coming down the stretch.
The Speed Figure guys are also a big part of the problem. They want you to believe a horse is only good if it runs a big number.
Which is a lot of BS IMO.
I make more money betting nw6500,optional claimers, or the like, in harness racing than i ever did betting the Grand Circuit.
Thoroughbreds are no different.
Don't fall for the hype.
