G'day saratoga,

A couple of years ago the NSWTAB tried to get U.S.racing "off the ground" here in Australia by operating on Friday U. S. meetings(a track in Kentucky was one and I am unsure of the others) which came through here in the early hours of Saturday.
It proved to be an unsuccessful venture as the horses were generally of a lower standard and there was no viable form available. Also. more importantly, Oz punters were too pre-occupied with doing the form leading up to our own weekend venues.
My question is : are there numerous tracks in Kentucky and generally, are they viable betting venues?
My main observation was that the horses appeared to run each furlong at an even rate whereas our style of racing here is to more or less "sit and sprint."
Whose do you think is the most effective racing pattern?

Cheers.
