Biggest pick 4 I have ever hit was one that paid $600 for $2, which I had $10 straight on. The horses:
Stay, John Terranova 7/1
Nothing Flat, Nick Zito 4/1
Some sprinter trained by Wesley Ward, forgot his name 3/5
Take Charge Lady, Ken Mcpeek 6/5

"I hate Hollywood Park from a betting standpoint"
I hear that from allot of people. Why? Is it the short fields as some would point out (but not lately).
I do very well at Hollywood however I've been playing there since they started simalcasting. I first starting going to the races in the San Francisco bay area at GG and bay Meadows but as soon as they started simalcasting I started playing So. Cal tracks. I guess since I've been playing there for 15 years I'm comforable with the trainers, owners, jocks, track bias, ECT. For me I have a hard time with Belmont. I always blame it on those damn NY Breds!
BTW- Nice hit on that 10 dollar strait pick 4. I played a 15 dollar pick 4 on the early pick 4 on Sunday. I looked at those races and it was chalk in 3 out of 4. In the other race it was a 6 horse field going a mile and a half on the turf. I only liked 2 horses so I put them both in and the 5-1 shot beat the even money shot. The Pick 4 paid a monster 39 bucks but I had it 15 times on a 30 dollar ticket. That was about the only thing I hit this weekend.
