I honestly dont know the purse structure exactly before poly. I guess my b#tching was more about how bad the horses are/ how ridiculous it is trying to cap these races at AP. At least before, you had horses coming from Sportsman's/Hawthorne that were now running on the same dirt at AP. Now it's a complete guessing game to how these horses are gonna run at AP. The horse in the 5th yesterday was coming off of 3 straight races of losses of 31,13,25 lengths.....then gets on the track at AP and wires em easily to win going away. They have suceeded in making it a bettors nightmare (same as Keeneland). The only difference is the horses at Keeneland actually are good horses. These fields at AP are some of the worst horses running today.

Illinois breds are kind of like the Quakers, and the Amish. They seem to like to stick together, and share. They aren't very greedy. Seems they just love to take turns at everything. I guess the other races are o.k. Just seems like a lot of chalk,and crap in Chicagoland racing. Seems like anytime I try to play the damn place that Jenks lady is bringing in some kind of chalk.Good for her,but I need something a little less obvious. Just seems like a mixture of too easy, and too hard. That's a recipe for empty pockets.

everyone is worried about what the price of a horse is going to pay, why force it. You can hit cold pick threes all day at Arlington. perfect example is the 1st three yesterday, 1-6-4 paid 16.4 to 1, and it was 2/1, 3/5, 2/1

And in the first race, people got all nuts on that 5, and Bob's Bean had better sprinting numbers then the horse. BB should not have been 2/1, more like 7/5 or 3/2

Oh my God.You wonder why we don't pay any attention to what's going on there. Sounds like some fkn sports parlay bets.
