I'm just curious if he was named in honour of Kevin Mench and somehow there was a misspelling or this is a true compliment to the fine upstanding individuals of the Jewish faith.

Was Belmont's decline greater than at tracks that are more friendly to rebate shops? I don't know. My (educated) guess is that everyone declined, and that any extra Belmont drop may indeed have been due to the weather. I know that a lot of "whales" play NYRA tracks, through outlets that do get the signal and nonetheless offer large rebates.<br /><br />Would you play NYRA if average takeout were 10% instead of 20%, but no rebates?Steve Zornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00290710261555708639noreply@blogger.com
