W've been over this time and time again. Last week The Wizard of public handicapping fame was a guest on the local OTB network up here via telephone and expounded on the same thing. He advocated Sunland Park and Tampa Bay as the tracks he was focusing on now due to what he perceived as value offered and backed this up with good reason why he felt that was so.
Its kinda reminiscent of the old joke about the bookie and his big customer.
A bookie realizes that football season is coming to an end soon and he has a customer who consistently loses his ass each weekend. The guy has only played football with him in the past, and the bookie hates seeing the great revenue walk out the door at season's end.
So the customer calls up to give the bookie his superbowl play and the bookie says to him "You know, football is over now but I take action on hockey." The customer says "Hockey??!! No way I am betting hockey!!! I don't know anything about picking hockey!!!"
I kind of have that same conversation with friends who only like to play NYRA and complain that its very hard to win and that they are getting beat badly. I suggest playing someplace like Fair Grounds or Finger lakes and they say " I don't know how to handicap those places!!" LOL!!!
