If Santiva goes off at anything less than 20-1 with AK, Shack, Nehro, MMM, MOH all entered, I\'ll eat my hat.

Everything else looks close.  Stay Thirsty could get some NY action and get bet down.

I would think a lot of the NY action goes on the Dominguez switch for Mucho Macho.

New York action?  You mean this seriously, as if there is such a thing?

If there is such a thing, NY action follows the \'sophisticated\' direction set by things like Thoro-Graph, not some cheesy geographical nonsense, like \"let\'s bet a POS like Stay Thirsty because he won here once in the past.\"  Or \"let\'s bet Dominguez, because he\'s such a NY guy.\"

New York action (????) is guys who know Jerry Brown on sight not some yahoos like you describe.  Oy Veh.  New York action, indeed.

You\'d be suprised how much stock people put into the jock switch to Dominguez.  I hope you realize that for every Sheet user or serious handicapper there is at least 100 guys that use nothing more than the drf or Russ Harris (Is he still around?) picks in the paper..Actually, there are a lot more guys betting 1-2-3 tri boxes for every race than serious players and this gets magnified on Belmont day.
