Easily within the top 1% in the country. And they are very likable gentlemen, let me tell you. True handle enhancers. Tracks dont like those who take down the Pick 6 routinely. Trust me. I can attest to this and them. Their daily handle is comparable to those yearly salary's, to say the least.<BR/><BR/>They actually own 90% of the horses being trained by their brother Greg. Those should look it up, Matties Racing Stable LLC. Greg's 4 for 27 in 2008, at the Big A. Nothing to write home about, but fairly consistent. Probably should mention, claiming races make up the allotment. Unfortunately for him, NYRA has pigeon-hold the family over speculation around a race, they are not releasing. <BR/><BR/>Not for holding back. For winning, I believe. Take a look at his last winner, I think you will understand. So apparently NYRA if you win a race and have family members betting on "their" horse its enough reason to bar your stable from the track.<BR/><BR/>Or in NYRA terms, "There were patterns of wagering activity at account wagering sites that we weren't happy about." A.k.a allot of money according to the TRPB. Makes you wonder how TRPB got this information and what jurisdiction they have to govern transactions placed by handicappers? Government relations? (Maybe a story for you :)<BR/><BR/>Moral of the story, if you have a live horse and a bankroll to play it. Someone may be watching. I would love NYRA to further provide details. But NYRA and details will never go in the same sentence.<BR/><BR/>See him at Finger Lakes....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
