No Drew, Ranger or Casey, other than Kevin Switzer it's not much of a driving colony

It's become Fair racing year-round. The prohibitive favorites in nearly every race make it tough to bet.

I'm enjoying my gambling hiatus more than gambling.

I hit the peddle hard this last year.

You also think clearer, and your racing memory comes back stronger.

I think you'll find your opportunities there if you stay with it.

Horses that can't be beat and everyone races for second...cold numbers loom

Prohibitive favs run into challenges, maybe the challenger (2nd 3rd choice) get exhausted....

Use the force LIWP and take them down....or rest a bit and refresh! :)

fair racing with fair payoffs are fun. cumberland and bangor have become unbettable. you have to hit 9 of 10 races to be even. miss two and its a losing day at the windows.

Would be better with some claiming action and a young up and coming driver.  Hall, Graffem, and Athearn have settled into predictable levels driving for regular trainers.  Small fields and unbeatable outside posts make it difficult to find any decent prices.  Betting larger amounts only reduces the prices even more with such small pools.  It is better to just watch most of the races.  Boring racing is an accurate description.  Maybe action will improve next year, but unlikely.

Minimal claiming for everyone is friendly with others, and they won't claim from them. The leading trainers jam their horses at claiming prices where they go off at 3/5 OR LESS, and the others race for 2nd place. 

The problem is it's not going to change.

  • Trigger: Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays Ploppers...I'm appreciative of what I have today.  Growing up 50 years ago in NYC, very cold, living in poverty, my mama used my finger when she couldn't afford a tampon.  Enjoy!  ;D
