I remember the old days as recent as in the late 1980s, maybe even into the early 1990s when they didn't take most tracks or co-mingle pools. There were days in the winter when we'd be at the old Teletheatre rooting for Aqueduct to cancel so we'd get Gulfstream. Sometimes I'd get so frustrated I'd drive to Connecticut to bet other tracks that weren't available at Capital OTB. When they started taking out of state tracks & didn't co-mingle with California I used to go to the Teletheatre where we had the California feed & could compare the track odds to the NY State odds & there were some very profitable times when a live horse on track would pay twice as much or more in NY.
