Just such a debate is now taking place within Flemming's own organization. Researcher Duane Lindstrom of the commission's Midwest regional office has resigned in protest against what he calls the report's distortion.

...whole purpose of going is to bet, so buy the official program with the dogs' weights, track records and the anonymous expert's picks. The best handicapper works for The Globe--he gets about 60 per cent right, the best sources say--and you should buy the paper beforehand.
