Computer-assisted wagering. Is it the wave for all future betting
on horse races, or is it the scourge that will drive gamblers away from the
game? That is the theme of this week’s Ron Flatter Racing Pod.

Elite Turf Club president Scott Daruty and professor and
horseplayer Marshall Gramm are together to talk about the ins and outs of what
has come to be known by the acronym CAW, both for good and for bad. They will
talk about how batch betting has changed the game and criticism that it has prevented
a level playing field for horseplayers.

Racing attorney Drew Couto was there in the early days of computer
betting and has stories about how it has evolved, complete with his own experiences
that were filled with international intrigue.

Horse Racing Nation
handicapper Ed DeRosa also weighs in on the subject in addition to offering
tips for three stakes races Saturday on the Indiana Derby card at Horseshoe
Indianapolis.

Co-host John Cherwa also offers critical commentary about computer
wagering in addition to his thoughts about the host’s recent vacation.

available via free subscription from Apple, Firefox, iHeart and Spotify as well
