Hockey,
Finger Lakes has great opportunities. Other posters on this board have also said so. If you follow the works and look at the pools, you'll find value.
FL certainly isn't Saratoga, but not a dump at all. Pretty nice for a small track. And the slots have boosted the purses.
Look for horses to show up from other tracks, for example TakingTheRedEye, who just shipped up from downstate. Not just that one. If you follow Belmont or Aqueduct, you'll see some that you've followed show up.

I'll stay with my pick,,,Ferocious Won, cause he won the Mike Lee, and I want to see a Big Apple winner. It will do a lot for NY breds.
btw...lots of horses start out at FL...remember The Daddy?

Good luck!
