I hate Hollywood Park from a betting standpoint, but I enjoy going there when I get out west.
Biggest pick 4 I have ever hit was one that paid $600 for $2, which I had $10 straight on. The horses: Stay, John Terranova 7/1 Nothing Flat, Nick Zito 4/1 Some sprinter trained by Wesley Ward, forgot his name 3/5 Take Charge Lady, Ken Mcpeek 6/5 |

I hear that from allot of people. Why? Is it the short fields as some would point out (but not lately). I do very well at Hollywood however I've been playing there since they started simalcasting. I first starting going to the races in the San Francisco bay area at GG and bay Meadows but as soon as they started simalcasting I started playing So. Cal tracks. I guess since I've been playing there for 15 years I'm comforable with the trainers, owners, jocks, track bias, ECT. For me I have a hard time with Belmont. I always blame it on those damn NY Breds! BTW- Nice hit on that 10 dollar strait pick 4. I played a 15 dollar pick 4 on the early pick 4 on Sunday. I looked at those races and it was chalk in 3 out of 4. In the other race it was a 6 horse field going a mile and a half on the turf. I only liked 2 horses so I put them both in and the 5-1 shot beat the even money shot. The Pick 4 paid a monster 39 bucks but I had it 15 times on a 30 dollar ticket. That was about the only thing I hit this weekend. |

Well,I had hoped somebody had written about this,but it ain't gunna happen.This $3300 p4 that Stevens hit is way to low a payoff.In the last race,that 10 got pounded in the p4. They left the p3,double,and win pools alone(they paid what they normally would for an 18-1 horse in that 9th race.)The p4 got played so hard with that 10,that it paid as if the 10 horse was a 9-1 shot.)The pool was about 480k.For this combo,12-1,even,9-1,and 18-1 there would normally be about 60 tickets (each paying about $6500/1,)but in this case there was roughly double that many winning tickets(each paying $3300/1.)I think that somebody bet 15-20k in the p4 (singling the 10 horse .)As you can see,the favorite exploded from the gate,and was well ridden by a fantastic speed jockey(Garcia,)but this 10 horse ran him down(not a lucky win....a very well meant horse.)

By the payout, that couldn't have been at a NYRA track... if it was, the payout would have been $300 for $2! Anyone else ever notice that? I love playing P-4's, but they always seem to pay lower than you'd think at NYRA tracks.

It absolutely was at a NYRA track. It was 3 summers ago at Belmont.
And the Wesley Ward horse I couldnt think of before was Dr. Jahilli, excuse the spelling. |

Really!? I'm surprised based on the payout.. and when and where did Take Charge Lady run at a NYRA track? I can't remember her racing up here.
