Silver,
- bigger fields
- better fields
- no rain offs
- handle up
- less breakdowns
it does not matter if a small minority does not like synth racing. what matters are the overall numbers. if they had stopped after Kee, AP, and Hol, I think things would have worked out just fine. but now they have given the Cal horsemen no choice, and in the '08 BC, they will give the bettors no choice.
not good.
