Picking tracks

[pmayjr]

Well when you say play only 1 or 2 tracks-

Are you handicapping the night before, or right up to post time of a given race? I do all my handicapping (except for contests that bar this) 5 and 10 minutes before a given race's post time.But I also bet more than1 track. If I'm sitting at a table with 6 big screens with 6 different tracks, then more than likely at 1 point I'll bet at least a race froim each one.

But with that being said, I like the smaller tracks. I'm a longshot player, and I think you're more likely to hit bombs at those tracks than at NY, Florida, Cali, etc. I especially like the night tracks. Mountaineer, Chuck-town,Evangeline, etc etc etc. Because you get a lot of solid wide-open fields.

It's a losing scenario to try to bet every track running, unless you handicapped the night before and picked your spots. I am talking from expierence here. Every time you look up,"Hey 3 minutes until the 3rd at Tampa" then "5 minutes until Delaware's 5th". How much handicapping can you do in 4 minutes? Always miss something. Now I pick the two tracks I feel I do the best at. A NY track and either Gulfstream or Arlington.
You are right about the night tracks, but the only problem are some of those 4 furlong races and some of those 2 turn 6 furlong races.
