At least PID has POLY. I'm going to play this track this year. I bet it's probably very beatable. All the other stuff is peripheral.

It's different because horses are running just to collect the 1K. That's not the case at AQU
This poor thing would have run once a week if given the chance ... (notice how she was only 10/1 in the route race against MALES! that was some race!)
This poor thing was made to attempt a comeback off of a 2+ year layoff in hopes of collecting some 1K checks. What you don't see is that it was twice a gate scratch.
As for you playing PID this year ... I certainly wouldn't try and discourage you.
Thanks to a 35/1 longshot that won by 5 lengths on closing day of last years meet - my top selection showed a flat bet profit for the 100 day meet. I also had a flat bet profit with both "best bets" and Best longshots" at both '07 and '08.
However, if playing tracks with small fields, many highly uncompetitive races, small pool sizes, and sky high takeout isn't your type of thing .. you'll find better options anywhere else you look.
