Ask the Experts / CAW free pools
November 17, 2025, 04:50:47 PM
Meanwhile, there are some pools CAW is not allowed to or can’t fish in.

NYRA late P5
Coast to Coast P5
Cross Country P5
GP P5 starting race 5 on 11 race programs
Sunset P6

Also any P3s not on consecutive races (Turf P3 etc).

Because of the huge rebates  the tracks make very little from CAW. But it’s good for  track execs who don’t want to show handle dropping.

What Serling doesn’t get is, that’s the point.

The disparity between expected prices based on the effectively retail only pool (Win) and exacta prices shows the massive effect CAW is having.

There are pools CAW is not allowed into.

There’s a class action suit out there, and the attorneys involved are no joke.

The reason they have to be able to bet so late, theoretically, is that depending on the odds they could be betting anyone or any combination. Again theoretically, they are not trying to pick winners.

Past posting is a whole separate can of worms.

If they came in early it’s not CAW. And they’re not shooting for scores. They’re placing large numbers of bets in different increments into what is effectively a lower takeout than the public gets to grind out a profit. I’m no Wall st guy but it has been described to me as operating in a similar way as a hedge fund.

They’re terrified of having a horse break down on national TV. After what happened at Saratoga a couple of years ago, on Fox, its hard to fault them.

Ask the Experts / UPDATE— IMPORTANT

Depending on which product you bought, you may or may not have the right sheet for Diamond Rain in the FM Turf. (Equibase problem again).

We’re sending out the right one, make sure you have it.

Sorry about the delay getting BC data up on the site. It’s an Equibase issue, not us. About half an hour.

Silverâ€" stop characterizing people or entities (“corrupt”) in a way that will get both of us sued.

The links don’t work, at least for me.

I might or might not have played a part in their thinking, but even if so I was way short of instrumental.
