Bet with the Best Podcast episode #13. Paul Matties is the guest.

For those of you with 2 hours and 51 extra minutes to listen, there is a great deal of CRW talk that is interesting as part of the topics covered.

I didn't find it earth shattering on other fronts but given the CRW talk here lately, it may be worth the listen for those that want to hear more on CRW's. Much of it is anecdotal that leads to strong generalizations. But it is from someone who is following the game every single day and this lends serious credibility to his views.

One example he gives is the exacta from Race 10 Sunday at Saratoga.

$1.85-1 favorite over $10.10-1 6th choice in an 8 horse field paid $11.60 for $1. The mental jostling of "I should have hit this Exacta much harder" when it crossed the wire juxtaposed with learning the payout and thinking "I never should have played that exacta" encapsulates what many of us go through today with CRW's.

Near the end he does say that on big days with large competitive fields is a place CRW's may struggle to figure out how to play those races.

If you enjoy horse racing, you will probably enjoy the listen. Episode 13 as stated above. Other episodes cover CRW's also but this one I found really interesting where he covered it.
