dude, i had ZERO shame playing 2500N3L races at Portland Meadows when I was there. It was so easy to win, I couldn't stand it. The only thing I hated were the exotics -- sometimes a combo that should pay $800-ish would pay about $180, and sometimes a trifecta that should pay $125 would be on the board at $600.
Made no sense, but it sure was easy to take down a huge part of the pool if you liked any longshot in a superfecta -- if you had a huge longshot in there, you'd likely only need to get the first three right and collect the "ALL" payoff in the fourth spot. It's too much fun. I'm going to start looking at mountaineer.
