I don't want to comment about other's finances esp someone who loves the game. But with admission fee, the cost of a racing form, and playing just one track, wouldn't it be worth it to purchase the data for one track on a given day and focus in on that track only with a potential edge (TG data)?

Probably a good place to mention last Saturday on a drive from Lexington to Louisville, I was listening to Dave Johnson and Mr. Grening of DRF on Sirius. Johnson asked Grening what type of handicapper he is working for DRF. Johnson pointed out he uses Thorograph Speed Figures and thinks they are the best figures out there.

A little announcer history for everyone out there. Dave Johnson, famous for his trademarked Down the Stretch call, started his announcing career in 1965 at Cahokia Downs and Fairmount Park. Not sure if he followed immediately after Johnson but I believe Tom Durkin was next in line at Fairmount and Cahokia.
