Aha! I didn't play multi-race wagers at that time, so that explains my disgust with it.

Portland Meadows (on a clear day) has a great view of Mt. St. Helens and Mt. Hood to the North and Southeast. It's a stark comparison -- 2500N3L runners racing around a track surrounded by some of the most incredible views I've ever seen.

Brian, I survived on cheap claimers at Penn Nat for years, The only views at PN was fighter planes running training missions, dropping real live bombs on the mountain range just north of Penn during live racing action.

ha! i feel lucky to have spent three race meets at PM, in that case!

So may times that track was about the horse who could stand up the straightest being the most logical win bet. Form was good, but it really had to be factored into how the horse raced and how often -- a healthy, sound horse there is hard to come by.
