Just jump to the bottem where the picks are if ya falling asleep with this thing
Hammy, I just knew I was right when I thought that this track is about impossible for me to beat. Got too confident after doing VERY well on opening day. I am enjoying the place; just gotta stop betting similar to how I bet Philly. Bankaroo is now down (not very much though) for this meet so far. One good exacta will do the trick

.
Airportis, your're prob. right about trainers using the place for "practice runs". LOL
Although many of the Philly regulars brought in horses that are in current form or, at least, actively racing all along. Maybe giving them test runs on turf though?
Man, I'd LUV to revisit that place; musta changed-a-plenty since then.
Just some stuff that some "GUEST" will enjoy reading Dept.
The level of FUN that I was having took a bit of a drop yesterday. You know this kinda stuff that happens to all hossplayers. Here's just two that come to mind...
Only 3 playable races yesterday, one of them required the Preperation H treatment afterwards -
1st race: After going over this race REAL closelike (timewise too) I wrote down no. 2 top/bot w. 4,5,7,10,11. Now when I betem, I crossed out the no. 11.. yeah, TO SAVE TWO STINKIN DOLLARS (1 stinkin dollar zacks at this twack yesterday for me :s2: ). OF COURSE, the 2/11 zack paid $107.40. Did collect a side order, W/Pl, on no. 2, 4 dollars each way. Really!
5th race: This one takes the cake... just like all the the races I cap., went over this one real closlely and wrote down .. no. 5 top/bot 2,3,4,9,11. Now, no. 5 got scwatched and so did the no. 3 so that left me with the 2,4,9,11. I made a good move and
played 11 top/bot 2,4,9 and hit a small exacta. Hmmm.. I guess a better move woulda been playing ZUPPAS (but, I almost NEVER play them). know what? .... the ZUPPA was 11-9-4-2. If I did I'm sure I woulda played it for 50cents cause there wasn't many picks I had for this race. That woulda been nice, collecting $265 on a 50 cent ticket.
SON-ah-Mah-BITCH!.
All I gotta do is start playing Supers and you know what... I'll hit one when the cow jumps over the freakin moon. I REALLY am thinking about turning my usual exacta type bets to trifectas though. Too many of them have the trifectas in the nos.
Back to the CASE AT HAND - today's waces
3rd race: Well, these are the 3 top plicks.. 11,9,6 respectively. Don't like the fact that 2 of the 3 are the favorites. I got the No. 1 hoss, Praire Trip (8/1), rated VERY low; almost last. BUT, I remember this one facing some high class runners and was always rated by cappers as a contender vs. them. I don't know why they only raced this one twice on the turf, him's breed for the turf! Anyway, IF I bet this wace, this one will be included with the top picks. I'd like this one even more if the race was longer than 5 1/2 furlongs.
5th race: Top two rated ones are nos. 6 (15/1) and no. 7 (2/1). I NEVER EVER seen a 3 furlong workout like the no. 6 had for this race. I've seen plenty of world champion sprinters workouts and this one beats them all. Secretariat couldn't (wouldn't ?) be able to go 3 furlong in a workout in 33 and change. This is ridiculous. I think it's a mistake or a typo. Maybe a drunkin clocker or he had an Ipad 2 inches from his nose? But, IF it's any indication of how he'll run today.. . hell, he could be walking over the finish line AND STILL WIN THIS RACE.
OH, BTW, the workout is only a small reason why this no. 6 got top rated. Even the A.C. tourists will bet this one methinks.
6th race: it's PLAYABLE, but I gotta finish going over it.
G.L. sorry bout the length of this thing, but it's nice to see some players in this forum.
