Fairmount-while I appreciate your frustration and anxiety over the CAW related issues, there are several reasons , based on the information in your post, while such a lawsuit will fail. At its heart, such a lawsuit sounds in fraud. Any lawsuit asserting a claim of fraud must be pled with specificity. You cannot plead a claim for fraud based on an allegation that begins “ Upon information and belief ( the pools closed after the race commenced).” So when the motion to dismiss is made and Fairmount ( or whoever the plaintiff is) submits an affidavit in opposition to the motion to dismiss it will be bereft of facts and strong on anger and frustration. Second, the plaintiff in this mythical lawsuit is at risk for sanctions for commencing a lawsuit with zero facts to back up such a claim.( and this does not begin to address the fact that the defendant(s), may, if they choose, submit documentary evidence demonstrating there was no past posting. Third, of course, is the funding of such a lawsuit. That sort of speaks for itself. I do have one question for all the posters who continue to rail at the CAW mess. I understand your passion, history and love of the game. Simply stop betting for a bit. Not any of you specially, but bettors as a whole. We have historically shown the ability to be abused and come back for more. The irony is WE THE BETTORS, control the game. Without us,the racetrack owners, trainers, breeders etc are out of business. If you love the game, try the various contests ( Horseplayers or HORSETOURNEYS.com. They are fun, profitable and actually assist in managing your bankroll and the joy of getting into the NHC or BCBC is cool. You can continue to play as often as you like, and as Thorograph sheet users you start with an immediate advantage over many of the contestants. I am older than probably all of you and my love of the game goes back to my first bet at Yonkers Raceway in 1964. You all have the power to force these changes. I have had these conversations with TGJB as well. WTF do you have to lose? Marshall Gramm and his ilk ain’t going away anytime soon. Sincere good luck.Richard
