That was my one and only Rand...I swear. Sad thing was, as soon as the race started, I just tore the ticket up....had no shot.

The Timonium of the West.....home of the 3 turn 1 mile race.

Haha. Looks like the 10th out there - 6 MTP - isnt a half bad race. I'll take The Five J's and hope his running in so many stakes over his head havent screwed him up. Box him with the O'Neill/Flores horse

I was long gone by the time you posted them. Hope you hammered them though.

That's nothing.. Hooves and I were betting heinous stuff like Suffolk and River Downs this summer.. I actually did pretty well at Suffolk, but River kicked my ass.. Tuesdays in Saratoga suck, just FYI.

All I am gonna say is when I am "in the know" for a horse at Beulah -

just ask Scav

race River couple months back. Something like a $50,000 purse. My dude calls me and says this horse is live and wins, no ifs and or buts bout it. beats the 3/5 favorite and pays $27. i am hollerin at scav but he is unable to get the play in.

trust me when i holla, trust me................................................ .....

HAHAHAHA, first ticket of the day winner on an even money horse

Gander 09-12-2006 07:54 AM

I would much rather bet Fairplex than some of the tracks frequently written about on here like Turfway and Delaware. Somebody has to win the race, no matter where they are run. The results there are not all that unpredictable. I love betting the NYRA tracks but I find myself frequently ripping up tickets there as well.

Give me Delaware 8 days a week over Fairplex. The horses and winners make much more since there.

Gander 09-12-2006 08:33 AM

The winners always make sense... after the races are run. Even at Saratoga where a lot of people got beat up this meet. Doesnt bother me at all to bet Fairplex. Losing is losing. Wheter its in a 500K grade 1 turf race at Belmont or a 9K claimer at Plex.

I was out at Fairplex Sunday with friends and took home three winners and the late pick 4 on a $8 ticket. The point is that the horses are fairly formful and If you think its small on TV you need to be there live.

I have been to Fairplex/LA County Fair. Its the biggest parking lot(s) I have ever seen in my life. I paid $10 for preferred fair parking and still had to walk nearly 1/2 mile stand in a line of over hundred people.

I was driving from Manhattan Beach to Las Vegas and made an all too unkind pit stop at the fair which took nearly a grand away from my budget.

I have a rule when I go to the Fair ground and that is don't get hungry. The prices will kill you. The parking lot is used for a car show and swap meet 6 times a year and they fill the whole thing, it's quite the sight.

I used to show my horses years ago during the Fair meet, than they took the preferred parking from the Exhibitors and that sealed it for me, way too much hassle to show there having you horse trailer 5 miles away. The races are fun to watch, more because of the diversity of breeds etc.. I cracked up Friday afternoon after the first race when the mule bucked his jockey off after winning his race, the mules do that a lot, I swear they're half broke!!!

So Gander... those 5-2 shots where you're really going out on a limb... in those 6-horse fields. You must be money with those!

Please tell us of the long shot winners you are cashing on a regular basis. They are-------- in a big pile on the floor at OTB I will guess. I love slam-in a 5/2 shoot and the more the better.

pmayjr 09-13-2006 02:42 AM

You're right... you don't hit with as much frequency. It's a boom or bust strategy. But when I win...I WIN! Not this I bet $2 and get back $5 for my win. Longshots are longshots because they don't hit very often... you just gotta find a few that do and you're set. So hit as many of those 5/2's and 6/5's as you want... it won't take me long to make more than you hitting a 15-1 on occassion. And they are out there more than you think if you truly know how to read a DRF 2hot4tv

DiscreetCat=Monster 09-13-2006 03:12 AM

ITS the only track left that you'll see atleast 4-5 horses PER DAy not make the turns:eek:
