Put Your Fingers Where your Mouth Is

I think that this whole thing is silly. The way to win or lose is to bet money at the windows, in the end thats all that matters.
I also find it pretty funny that this much hype is raised over one day of racing when there are 364 other days of racing as well, as far as wagering goes.
You can make a score on a 4 claimer at finger lakes and I assure you that the moeny is just as green and spendable as money from the BC is.
people voice opinions here because thats why the board is here.
But the problem with some of those opinions as they translate to betting is that anyone who really is sharp is going to form an opinion on a race, and analyze both odds and track bias once the card is underway.
There is no way to post here ahead of time and know the subtle nuances that go into your final bet.
Also, some guys like me like to key hangers underneath in trifectas, or may ust have an opinion that so and so is no good as heavy chalk and spread the race out going deep looking for a price. But its hard to take any credit for going 5 deep in a pik-4 race.
Look, there are many ways to arrive at a winning ticket, and none are any less gratifying than th others. Doesnt matter if you nailed a big tri because you loved the winner, or keyed a bomb in 2nd and 3rd and spread the other postions. A hit is a hit. The guy who keys the 6-1 winner doesn'tget paid any less than the guy who keyed the 20-1 for 2nd and 3rd.
