In a previous post, Mall pointed to a very interesting link. That link in turn pointed to another link which I also think is very interesting.

http://www.als.edu/glc/wagering/reports.html

The reports on this site that I found most interesting included (it was a "virtual Dead Heat" - Inside joke and you will have to read the last report listed to understand it):

Speech at Arizona Racing Symposium, "Are Stewards Bupkes?" December 5, 2001

Let’s Try An Alternate Approach to Drug Penalties June 2002

The Morning Line at the Derby June 2002

Don't Shoot the Scale of Weights September 2002

Claiming Races and the Racino Tracks 1 October 2002

The Pick Four and the Parlay October 2002

We Got the Horse Talk Right Here November 2002

*****

I think it might be interesting to start a string on each of these reports and get a discussion going.

If anyone is interested, why not start with the first one that discusses the need to create some standards and processes to help Stewards make decisions.

Any thoughts or comments on that particular report?
