Penn National 02-20

[Suffolk Shippers]

I once played Penn National on a random Thursday night at Mohegan Sun half in the bag last summer. Tonight, I mark the second time I throw my hat in the fray at Grantville, PA's oval.

I'm left alone to myself tonight w/ no friends and no girlfriend, and no Bruins, so here we go.

$5 Late P4

R6: 6,8
R7: 4,6,7,9,10
R8: 1,3,4,5,7
R9: 5

$250

i enjoy Pn, Mnr, and Pha pk i'm beginning to spent more time with these tracks, and i believe in the future they will be around and still have full fields, horses seem to be a little better than in past years.

I can see why you'd enjoy these tracks, full fields, difficult to cap for sure, prices probably hit the board more often than not. I'm gonna do some tracking and jump in here and there. It's tough to find a half decent wager after the west coast tracks are done at 630/7pm ET.

i know what you are saying, but the tracks like Sa i like but hard to get 2-3 races on a card for me because i don't like turf races maidens, and a lot of short field races, but some days that have a nice card. what determines
which tracks i play that day is the entries i look at before pulling up PP's. that way i'm not wasting time on a track if i like only 1-2 races with six horses
in them hard to make a big hit, which i haven't had lately. the conditions and type makes up my mine before starting on handicapping

Well that blows, unless the P4 pays 3 of 4...I'm out already! But looking through old results that happens some times at PEN, so I'll stick with it.

I play these tracks because they are usually the only ones I can play. It's the same bitch I always have: If you work a regular 9 to 5, the only time you can enjoy racing of the highest quality is on the weekends, and that is only if you can somehow convince the wife and kids to leave you alone for 4 hours. Good luck with that. If it weren't for the Mountaineers and Penns of the world, there is no way I could get into racing. And there have to be millions out there just like me.

Hey, I just graduated Sunshine Park and am now a Suffolk Downser. I always root for the success of that track since I read TD Thornton's book a year ago.

Isn't that a great book? You know there are always so many untold stories, pretty much at any job...but, he did a great job encapsulating the whole Suffolk scene.

Haha...I did! Don't feel too bad for me, I played the early P4 at AQU this afternoon...$45 P4, punched it three times and paid a little over $1800. So, this was just a boredom play. I'm pulling for 3/4

[dagolfer33]

I dont feel as bad....usually only bet lonshot flyers at Penn and CT myself...I bet Delta and have a talent for Meadowlands and Australia. Pretty eclectic group.

i'm done for the night good luck to all, be playing Mnr for sure tommorrow 5 races i like.

[dagolfer33]

The good news is it did pay 3/4....bad news is it wasnt to the 5 in the last......it was to the 36:1 #2.....Penn is tough.
