The Hammer on Saratoga, Del Mar, Mage, Geaux Rocket Ride, The Haskell and more

Nothing like starting your day with some Sure Bet Coffee, The Hammer and the Racing Form, Formulator of course....Thorograph a tad later.
Tommy Hammer Massis need no introduction in the Sport of Kings. Once again he joins us and Jonathan Stettin on ‪@PastTheWireTV‬ to talk Saratoga and what The Hammer thinks of it. Always unfiltered, and never one to pull punches Hammer shares his thoughts on one of the premiere race meets in the world and also where it may be lacking and fallen from grace so to speak.
When Hammer and the Pick 6 King get together it is always a fun show and you just never know what may or may not come up or get out. If you don't know now you know.
Thank you for watching our show.

Saratoga is pure magic. Best people watching. The top 2 year Olds are unveiled there. Most headliners running in all categories. Everything from world class food to fair food. Wonderful town. Wonderful restaurants. So much to do besides racing.

Jon: You guys hit every point to the reasoning as to why I really left playing Saratoga since 2010. Once I discovered DELMAR- its all I play. The exactas, p3,p4 pay-out is much better and I like to play the p3 at .50 cents and if I feel confident, I will play it a few times and able to add sweeties to my plays.

I always love when Jon and Tommy get together. Two 1st ballot Hall of Fame horseplayers, who both beat the game. Thank you gentlemen.

Grazie Mike! Appreciate that

Love tommy!

Enjoyable show. One comment: I happen to be a single race bettor. The CAW's are killing horse racing. Sunday's Woodbine Oaks: Half of the horses are already loaded and Elysian Field's odds are 12-1 and she wins and pays a touch less than 6-1. It's enough to make me quit because I am not allowed the advantages the CAW's have. Just plain unfair.

Common complaint and frustration

[@nolinrogers]

yes 100% had 5 horses to the 10 in the dbl figured i had a $20-$25 winner.

[@ziskokid1]

Look at the doubles...you will see ahead of time that the horses odds will drop.

[@kirkgoshert7876]

You guys would fit right in with the bums that populate the OTBs and simulcast theaters.

[@PastTheWireTV]

Thank you, appreciate that!!!

3:08. Commercialized or corporatized? Comes from sell "entertainment" instead of gambling. Definitely doesn't have the same feeling. Same with gulfstreampark, churchilldowns, etc.

[@Horseracingtip]

26:50. All horseplayers are adapting, and racetracks are going out of business. 😀
