Belmont new $3 late pick 3

[Dahoss]

I watched the first three from Canterbury today, their opening day.

4/5, 2/5, 1/9

They could lower their pick 4’s to single digits, it won’t matter. The track is unplayable. That’s why when they tried the low takeout a few years back it didn’t matter.

What’s your handle been on Canterbury the last few years?

You can't make that conclusion after one day. Was 5x5x7x8 in the sequence. Field size will increase as meet gets going. As Andrew Offerman explained they're expecting another 200+ horses yet. Today's early P4 is 6x8x12x8.

Their live handle grew 7% and simu 10.5% when they tried the aggressive takeout experiment and as noted Tuesday, there's no way to quantify how successful the trial really was because the additional generated churn wasn't necessarily plowed back in to CBY. They were also impacted that summer by terrible weather and a lot of races off the turf. That discussion is complex and multi-factorial.

LMAO

I’m basing my conclusion on many years of gambling on horse racing Steve. What would you say Canterbury typically gets of your own annual handle? Considering you put up opinions on ONE card all of last year I can’t imagine much.

I don't play it often, no. I'll play when I handicap with their people when something appeals and usually Mystic Lake Derby Day. Just because I don't write up a card doesn't mean I'm not looking at their racing. I play Indiana a lot more versus Canterbury though.
