Q for all the KIA's and Mooks

[Fredo]

A friend invited me to the fairly new OTB in SCV. The layout is strange they have a good size horseshoe shape bar maybe 12-14 seats.
The problem is the bar is not more than 6 ft from the clerk windows(2) . Six feet in front of the live windows are 2 sams which one never worked. The big floor area where the large tables are is cramped with banquet size tables and only 2 sams in a room that probably holds 60-70 people.
So after race 5 @ SA alot people congregated in front of the live windows and below 4 tv's. so you basically have to wade through 8 people just to get to a machine or a window. Why isn't there a company out there to help these owners of these establishments to help the design of these sawdust joints? Or the CHRB helps these new owners of these otb's? Years ago the otb in SB was a tent in a asphalt parking lot. My 2nd Q for you is today @ GG race 7 there was a late gate scratch,"Trust In Tebow". Yet watching the feed there was no ticker or posting on the TV. The only reason I knew there was a late scratch was by the delay and I looked for him at the finish and I never saw him. In most of these OTB's there is no volume for all the races except SA this time of year. So I got back quite a bit from my tix with the scratches. Have any of you ever experienced this or something similar to this?

About a dozen or so years ago I was living in San Bernardino and would play the horses at the OTB on Arrowhead Drive
I believe. Parking was free and admission prices were affordable. Plenty of TV monitors everywhere. That's all
I can remember about the joint.
